Nikko partners with Eurasia
Nikko Asset Management has entered into a partnership with Eurasia Group in what the two companies are promoting as a means of offering global investors a risk-controlled means of getting exposure to emerging markets.
Announcing the move this week, Eurasia group president, Ian Bremmer, described it as a ground-breaking cooperative effort.
"We are experiencing a world of geopolitical creative destruction. With so little lasting cooperation among governments and so many emerging political and economic challenges, the need for an investor roadmap has never been greater," he said.
Bremmer said Eurasia Group would provide Nikko Asset Management with a systematic methodology to measure and quantify political risk and its potential impact on emerging market asset prices.
Nikko Asset Management executive chairman, David Semaya, said emerging markets represened a compelling investment opportunity for global institutional and retail investors alike.
"In working with Eurasia Group, we're going to be able to quantify important risks related to geopolitics and use that data within our investment portfolios, which will help us maximise the benefits of diversification by avoiding countries beset by crises or those headed in that direction," he said.
