Frontier Markets

A visit to  some outstanding businesses in Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi during October 2010 reinforced the view of KCML director Ashik Shah  that exceptional value can be found in the so-called 'frontier markets', countries where political and economic difficulties currently discourage potential investors from investigating opportunities.

Following the trip Kurm Investments Inc. acted on a KCML recommendation that it invest in a US managed frontier markets fund with a focus on developing African economies.
