Emerging Markets at an Inflection Point: AI, Energy Transition, and the Case for Active Investing

from The Emerging Markets Podcast by Tellimer · host Tellimer

Mike Gush, Partner at Baillie Gifford, joins Tellimer Founder and CEO Duncan Wales to examine why the investment case for emerging markets has fundamentally shifted. Drawing on Mike's two decades managing emerging market equities at Baillie Gifford, the conversation examines how the asset class has matured beyond its reputation for volatility, with stronger fiscal foundations and a new generation of world-class companies. They explore emerging markets' central role in the global AI supply chain and energy transition, from chip manufacturing and battery technology to critical minerals. The episode also covers the contrasting opportunities in China and India, digital leapfrogging across Latin America and Southeast Asia, and the renewed case for active stock selection over index exposure.The Emerging Markets Podcast by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tellimer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – Emerging Markets, Connected.
