5 Best Investments for Beginners According to Experts

2. Emerging Markets

Famous money managers are extremely bullish on emerging markets and they urge beginner investors to look beyond just the developed stock markets and take advantage of the growth potential of nations outside of the North American or the European continent. For example, Ray Dalio earlier this year reiterated his bullish stance on India in a tweet.

“I am pleased to be able to help PM Modi as he is a man whose time has come when India’s time has also come. He and India are in an analogous position to Deng Xiaoping and China in the early 1980s–i.e., at the brink of the fastest growth rates and biggest transformations in the world. Additionally, the challenges both between and within China and the US are putting PM Modi in a unique position to influence the complexion of the world order via influencing the non-aligned world ‘s dealings with these two leading world powers. I believe that Modi has what it takes to have the greatest impact on the largest number of people in the world at a time that the risks of harmful impact are greater than at any time in our lifetimes.”

According to a report from Lazard Asset Management, after a decline seen in 2021 and 2022 for earnings growth expectations for emerging markets, estimates for earnings growth for these countries moved higher compared to the US.
