CHINA: OPPORTUNITY AND RISK CHINA: OPPORTUNITY AND RISK

Where the USA was in 1940’s.

We expect Outperformance in China for many years.

2003 -2010 GDP Per Capita $1,000 to $3,000. We Expect 2010-2017 GDP per Capita will double again to $6,000.

Volatility – Will Continue to Be High. Skepticism among investors will be high as well.

BrazilBrazil

Expected growth rates: 5-7% annually for coming decade

Inflation now under control : Approximately 4% range. (inflation of the 1990s was terrible – 15 years ago Brazil had inflation of 760 percent for five years)

Drivers of Brazil growth – Exports of energy, steel and mining resources, beef and poultry. China and other emerging and developed economies drive demand.

100 million middle class – Incomes in this segment have grown 9 percent per year. This is expected to continue.

Brazil: ChallengesBrazil: Challenges

Infrastructure problems – inferior in many areas. Transportation, airports, highways all need significant improvements.

Corporate governances: improving, but still problematic. Electricity Co. in Rio – 42% loss rate (unbelievable!).

Taxation – problematic. Consumption taxes in some areas too high.

Top sectors: Homebuilding, banks, electric utility, energy.

SummarySummary

Emerging Economies – Opportunities are significant!

Risks are higher too: legal, business practices, corruption and bad faith dealing.

To protect yourself: Seek professional advice, legal and business partners with solid record of success.

Wealth and Power will continue to shift from the west to the east in the coming decades.
