Perth Tolle – Freedom and Investing in Emerging Markets EP43


Listen Later

The universe is rife with emerging autocracy markets with huge concentrations that are often too big of a risk for investors to take. This is where the freedom-weighted strategy comes into play.

Until recently, nobody has ever weighted the risks in the emerging market indexes based on the freedom levels in each country.  

Perth Tolle is the founder of Life + Liberty Indexes and the creator of the Freedom 100 EM Index (FRDM). She spent years living and working in both Beijing and Hong Kong, where her market observations led her to explore the relationship between freedom and successful investing in emerging markets. 

On this episode of The Wiggin Sessions, Perth joins me to discuss how she created the FRDM Index and the heightened risks associated with investing in autocratic markets.

Listen in to hear about Perth’s experience in China, the nuances of the free markets, and the relational differences between a free society and an autocratic society..
