Kevin T. Carter, founder and chief investment officer of EMQQ Global, joins the podcast to discuss opportunities in emerging and frontier market stocks. His first lesson: don't bother with the indexes. The real opportunities are to be found in individual stocks.

• The first issue with emerging market investing is the index. These do not accurately reflect the real opportunities (1:19);
• Individual stocks, especially of technology companies, have performed far better than the underlying index (6:25);
• There are three mega-trends that point to emerging markets growth over the long term (8:03);
• South America's E-commerce giant is not in any EM index. Neither is Brazilian digital bank Nu Holdings (15:14);
• A broad discussion of China, where things are not always as they appear in the western media... (19:22);
• Right now all eyes are on India. The story there is still in the early innings, but unfortunately options are limited for investors limited to US exchanges... (42:13);
• Other markets in South Asia also offer compelling opportunities. Especially Bangladesh (48:58).
