Carter is the Founder & Chief Investment Officer of EMQQ Global, including EMQQ, FMQQ, and INQQ. While he considers himself an active “value” investor first and foremost, he has collaborated with Princeton economist and indexing legend, Dr. Burton Malkiel, for more than 20 years. Their work together began in 1999 with the development of eInvesting, a pioneer firm in fractional share brokerage that was acquired by ETRADE in 2000. In 2002 they founded Active Index Advisors, a pioneer in so-called “direct indexing” that was acquired by Natixis Asset Management in 2005. In 2006, their efforts turned to China and Emerging Markets with Dr. Malkiel’s publishing of “Investment Strategies to Exploit Economic Growth in China” and the subsequent book From Wall Street to the Great Wall. Working with Guggenheim Partners, they launched several China focused ETFs on the NYSE.Connect with Kevin:Website: https://EMQQglobal.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-t-carter-795b9010b/Connect with Emma:https://InvestWithEmma.comhttps://PartnerWithRise.com/Emmahttps://Highrise.group00:00 Introduction and Personal Investment Philosophy00:20 Guest Introduction: Kevin T.
