Evolving Emerging Market Strategies

Tuesday, February 14, 2012

Portfolio Manager Viewpoints with John P. Calamos, Sr. of Calamos Investments


How financial advisers can access today's opportunities with lower volatility in emerging market portfolios.

Evolving trends have positioned the emerging markets to potentially fuel the entire world's growth over the next decade. Allocating to emerging markets as a core part of the portfolio will likely be a key strategy for many advisers seeking to capitalize on opportunities in this rapidly changing world, according to John P. Calamos Sr.

Join Mr. Calamos in this live, interactive webcast as he discusses how advisers can access the growth opportunities their clients need - while also managing the risk in this space.

Mr. Calamos will specifically address:

* The evolving trends driving opportunities in emerging markets and how these trends will impact global growth in the years to come.
* Why leading economists are recommending increased allocations to emerging markets - not as a satellite, but as part of the core portfolio allocation.
* Volatility and the importance of active management with a focus on risk within this space.
