Frontier markets

The wild card: Can frontier markets equities bounce back?

Frontier markets have been among the worst hit amid the coronavirus equities sell-off, but one veteran fund manager believes they have rarely offered better value.

The coronavirus spared many frontier markets from the same infection rates suffered by Western countries, but not their stock markets.
