Emerging Markets Risk

Definition

Emerging markets risk refers to the heightened potential for financial loss when investing in economies characterized by rapid growth but also significant political, economic, and social instability. These risks include currency devaluation, regulatory changes, and geopolitical events that can substantially impact asset values. Such exposure is a key consideration for investors seeking higher returns in less developed financial landscapes. Managing this risk requires careful assessment of country-specific factors and global economic shifts.
