Publisher's Synopsis
In 1993 US funds spent US$17bn in the Asian marketplace. People in the States and in the UK have increasing portions of their pension funds, life insurance and unit trust savings invested in this part of the world, and how well this money performs for them depends critically on the individual who is managing it - far more so than in the mature markets of the west. Claire Barnes has interviewed all the top 'money wizards' who dominate these markets to find out how they make their decisions, what they have learnt to avoid, and what makes them leaders of the pack. Candidates include Mark Mobius, world famous value investor, and a group of highly colourful, successful managers in India, Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines and Korea as well as some of the market leaders in the US and UK.
