This video from Daniel Broby of Danfonds SPC does a superb job of pointing out the extraordinary investment opportunities within key frontier markets, especially in Africa. He points out, however, that the rewards come with potential geopolitical risks — thus the need for dealing with specialists. Such investing is not for the faint of heart.

Successful investors must identify hidden investment opportunities in foreign stock markets.

Thanks for the video. What do you think of ETFs to lessen the risk? This site indicates there are a few, and gives a little more on frontier market investments http://www.frontiermarketsetf.com , but I think an ETF may even be too risky. Thoughts? Thanks
