The Advanced Certificate in
Emerging Markets & Country Risk Analysis
Since the ending of the cold war, private equity investments in emerging
financial markets have become a very significant but volatile component
of the capital flows into the developing world. Emerging fund managers
must not only know the standard tools of financial analysis, but they must
also be able to integrate these skills into a fairly sophisticated political
and economic framework in order to minimize the difficult risks they face
in investing in Asian, African, Latin American, and Eastern European markets.
The curriculum for the Certificate in Emerging
Markets and Country Risk Analysis is designed to provide
present and future fund managers with such an integrated approach, combining
financial, political, and economic analysis in order to better assess the
financial opportunities in these markets.

The Certificate in Emerging Markets and
Country Risk Analysis is earned by successfully completing
