Genomics 
What is it? 
Genomics โ€“ The study of organismsโ€™ hereditary information. An 
organismโ€™s genome is its complete set of DNA. 
DNA โ€“ The chemical compound containing instructions for developing 
and directing all the bodyโ€™s activities. An identical copy is in each cell. 
DNA Sequencing โ€“ The process of determining the exact order of the 
chemical bases that make up DNA, about 6.2 billion in total for a human. 
The map of a personโ€™s DNA can tell us a lot about them, from their 
eye color to their likelihood of developing cancer. Scientists 
understand parts of the map, but most of it is still a mystery.
Genomics 
Why is this important? 
Predictive Medicine โ€“ Based on my DNA, what are my chances of 
developing a particular disease? 
Testing & Diagnostics โ€“ What disease is this? Is it an aggressive form in 
need of treatment, or is it better to wait? 
Therapeutics โ€“ What causes this disease, and what drugs will cure it? 
At the heart of genomics is the promise of personalized medicine. Because 
of differences in DNA, treatments do not work the same for everyone. 
Someday our current practice - prescribing the same drug for everyone who 
has a given disease - will seem archaic. This is truly a revolution in 
healthcare.

What are Frontier Markets? 
Frontier Markets are less developed than Emerging Markets. We 
view the investment universe in classes. 
In order of market maturity (with examples): 
1. United States* 
2. Developed Markets (Germany, Canada, Japan) 
3. Emerging Markets (Brazil, China, Russia, Mexico) 
4. Frontier Markets (Kuwait, Nigeria, Argentina, Pakistan) 
In terms of development, Frontier Markets are like Emerging 
Markets 20 years ago. But they are catching up at a faster rate. 
*US is a Developed Market- a special case as our home country and the most advanced

What are Frontier Markets? 
Frontier markets hold 35% of the worldโ€™s population, produce 16% 
of its economic output, and represent 4% of global market value

Why Frontier Markets? 
2) โ€œLEAPFROGGINGโ€ 
๏‚งSkipping generations of 
technologies saves time, 
money and resources. 
Examples: photography, 
M-Pesa 
๏‚งAccess to modern 
political and economic

education system

Why Frontier Markets? 
3) RESOURCE RICH 
๏‚งFrontier markets contain about 
40% of the worldโ€™s natural 
resource reserves and nearly 
26% of gas reserves 
๏‚งThey have an opportunity to 
avoid the โ€œresource curse,โ€ 
where corruption and inequality 
follow abundant natural 
resources (Russia, Mexico, 
South Africa)

Risky? Less Than You Think 
LOW DEPENDENCE ON 
FOREIGN CAPITAL 
Frontier economies are self-sustaining. 
Infrastructure 
investment is fed by citizen 
savings, not hot foreign money. 
LOW CORRELATION TO 
OTHER MARKETS 
These markets and economies 
respond to military coups, 
typhoons, oil discoveries etc., 
not broad global macro events. 
Each country has idiosyncratic 
drivers. 
Single country volatility is high, 
but low correlations mean lower 
collective volatility- see the 
chart. 
Source: Wall Street Journal
Other Risks? 
BALANCE 
The main benchmark (MSCI 
Frontier Markets Index) is not 
well balanced. 
Kuwait and Nigeria comprise 
almost half the index. Banks 
and other financial companies 
dominate. 
Solution: Frontier markets 
should be part of a diversified 
portfolio 
LIQUIDITY 
Market access, company size, 
and share availability are 
barriers. 
Most Frontier companies trade 
less than $3mil in value per day, 
raising the cost of entry and 
exit. 
Solution: US-traded funds like 
FM & TFMAX are liquid but donโ€™t 
solve the underlying issue

  • 29. Risky? Less Than You Think LOW DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN CAPITAL Frontier economies are self-sustaining. Infrastructure investment is fed by citizen savings, not hot foreign money. LOW CORRELATION TO OTHER MARKETS These markets and economies respond to military coups, typhoons, oil discoveries etc., not broad global macro events. Each country has idiosyncratic drivers. Single country volatility is high, but low correlations mean lower collective volatility- see the chart. Source: Wall Street Journal
  • 30. Other Risks? BALANCE The main benchmark (MSCI Frontier Markets Index) is not well balanced. Kuwait and Nigeria comprise almost half the index. Banks and other financial companies dominate. Solution: Frontier markets should be part of a diversified portfolio LIQUIDITY Market access, company size, and share availability are barriers. Most Frontier companies trade less than $3mil in value per day, raising the cost of entry and exit. Solution: US-traded funds like FM & TFMAX are liquid but donโ€™t solve the underlying issue

Editor's Notes

  1. Apologies for getting statistical. Assuming not everyone can see these numbers, I color coded the boxes on a scale - green is the best score, Red is the worst, yellow and orange are in between. Frontier markets are the fastest growing and cheapest of the four asset classes I outlined at the beginning. Quality measures: The first two are measures of profitability- Frontier companies are the most profitable. The last two columns measure debt, the frontiers have the lowest debt ratios.
  2. 16% of global economic activity but only 4% of market value. Frontiers have funded themselves, isolating them from global cycles. Unlike Brazil and India, they donโ€™t sweat the next Janet Yellen press conference. ------------ Note this is not a chart of performance- the vertical axis is VOLATILITY. Despite the presence of Qatar, Ukraine, Bangladesh, Pakistan, the index of Frontier markets has been consistently LESS volatile than emerging markets. Lately even less volatile than developed markets!
