Edge Capital: Investing in Emerging Markets
Naji Boutros, Founder of Edge Capital, raised money from a group of investors who wanted to focus on this part of the world. They invested in emerging and frontier markets and in businesses focused on Turkey, where they had a very successful investment history.
Investing in Lebanon and this part of the world is a risk. Naji Boutros, Founder of Edge Capital, states, “Traditionally, we have made money investing in markets where there is risk, but where the perception of risk is higher than the actual risk. In fact, it is the perception of risk that keeps the investors away, enabling us to achieve better valuations than if there was no perception of risk.”
