EM’s now represent a larger portion of the market than they ever have. How should investors think about these opportunities?

In this episode of Beating Sisyphus, we sit down with Adrian Leon, CFA, Vice President at Insigneo ($35B AUM) and former Guggenheim Partners LatAm to discuss global diversification.

With the US market outperforming for the last 15 years, many assume the trend will last forever. Adrian explains why trees don't grow to the sky, breaking down the cyclical nature of markets and why the next decade might belong to Emerging Markets.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:
• The "Haystack" Strategy: Why trying to find the needle is a mistake—and why you should own the whole market instead.
• The Macro Framework: A masterclass in analyzing nations using 5 key metrics: Deficits, Debt-to-GDP, Interest Rates, Money Supply (M2), and FX Reserves.
• The $44 Trillion Bond Market: Why Emerging Market debt is a massive asset class you can't afford to overlook.
• US vs. Global Valuations: Understanding why US tech commands a premium and where the "catch-up" trade exists abroad.
• The India Opportunity: Why India stands out in Adrian’s framework as a top contender for future growth.
