Investment Week is hosting its Global Emerging Markets Briefing at a pivotal time for investors as they start to position for the recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, although risks remain.
During this interactive briefing, we will hear from a number of global emerging market managers about their response to the extraordinary events of the past year and their outlook for the rest of the year and beyond.
The managers will identify where they are seeing the biggest opportunities and risks at the moment in emerging markets and explain the role their strategies could play in client portfolios.
Attendees will also get the chance to network with peers, quiz our speakers, as well as benefit from CPD points

Addis Ababa has signalled it could be the first country with an international government bond to use a new debt relief framework from the G20 group of major economies that encourages governments to defer or negotiate down external debt.
Creditors have mostly continued to get paid during the coronavirus crisis despite its immense pressures. Losses have only been endured in places like Argentina, Ecuador, Lebanon and Zambia that were heading for default anyway.
