Emerging Markets

Hooke Associates, LLC can assist operating companies, lending institutions and mutual funds in assessing the tactics needed to enter the emerging markets successfully.

Hooke Associates can review financial strategies, local equity partners, international equity partners and specialized lenders that can work with your business in the developing world.

Many institutional investors are attracted to emerging markets because of their relatively low valuation multiples on equities and high yields on bonds. However, they lack practical investment experience.

Many U.S. corporations fail to research the pitfalls of these markets before making investment decisions. Also, they don’t take advantage of concessionary World Bank funding, even though it offers low interest rates, long maturities and political risk protection. U.S. firms often ignore the possibility of recruiting emerging market private equity funds to share in the risks and rewards of a venture.
