EMEA Research provides research focused on country allocation in Eastern Europe, the Middle East & Africa. EMEA Research discovers value by examining the intersection of political risk and investment opportunity.

EMEA Research offers risk-adjusted strategies focusing on country allocation, sector allocation and stock selection. With the exception of South Africa, equity markets in EMEA, trade in reaction to investor’s assessment of how news impacts a nation’s economic prospects and political risks. EMEA Research has observed that – even in the most liquid markets – if one sector makes an independent move, the entire market will follow; the best/worst stocks in their own universe trade up and down with the overall market regardless of fundamentals.

Stacia Hachem works with a team of independent consultants focusing on in-country investment opportunities & quantitative research.

An extensive rolodex, based primarily in EMEA countries, is put to use to obtain in-country opinions on companies, industries, sectors and countries.
