52: $520 Million Frontier & Emerging Markets Specialists Jonathan Binder and Charlie Cassel Co-Founders of Consilium Investment Management | The Importance of High Conviction Strategies | Why Benchmarks in EM Are a Problem | “Meet the Boutique” Series

If you’ve been dismissing frontier markets because they seem “too risky,” you’re missing out on a treasure trove of alpha. 

Take it from Consilium CIO Jonathan Binder and CEO Charlie Cassel. For 13+ years, they’ve managed to beat EM benchmark indexes time and time again. 

In this episode, they share their playbook for successful FM investing and break down:

• Misconceptions about risk in Frontier Market investing and their approach to risk management
• Why active management and a non-indexed approach is essential to successful FM investing
• How most Global Emerging Markets managers are ill-equipped to invest in the EM and Frontier countries they invest in
• Their process for crafting equity strategies that give their clients exposure to top-tier companies in overlooked markets poised for robust structural growth

This is part 2 of our Meet the Boutique Series, where we’ll take you behind the scenes to see how top asset managers innovate and thrive.
