Geeli is one of the top air conditioning manufacturers in China. It aims to become the world's largest manufacturer within 5 years. To fund its expansion, Geeli is considering various financing options such as listing on the Chinese, Hong Kong or US stock markets, issuing corporate bonds or bank loans in China or abroad. Listing in the US has advantages like a sound legal system and lower cost of capital but requires meeting strict criteria. Raising debt in China is challenging due to issues like state control of banks and high rates of non-performing loans. Based on its financials and a net present value analysis, listing American Depositary Receipts in the US stock market seems to be the best option for Geeli to access

There are three of four major multinational trading blocs (or regions)
Consider India, China, Russia, Brazil ,They're the next wave of growth markets. There's only one issue. Although in the long-run most of these markets will deliver capital gains dwarfing those of more developed economies (while also providing great dividends), in the short-term many will be volatile. In order to profit, you need a guide, someone to help you uncover the big trends while avoiding the pitfalls.
Simple. Growing markets = opportunity to make money. Both for companies, and for investors. Any entrepreneur that launches a business that can be successful in emerging markets, stands a chance to capture a massive market. The emerging markets of China, Brazil and India, for example, have an ever expanding population of consumers with ever changing tastes and demands for goods and services. As the people in these places become more wealthy, and as they become more exposed to new ideas, new products and new markets, their tastes and preferences for goods and services will change.
Emerging market stocks and bonds offer the potential for high return in a relatively short period of time. However, the relatively unstable nature of EME’s is reflected in the risk levels which are usually much higher than those carried by more mature markets.
Even though there exist great opportunities in EMs, there are also difficulties inherent in doing business in these countries. One aspect is the lack of developed communication infrastructure, which, in combination with often high levels of illiteracy makes it harder for companies to communicate with consumers. Another problem is that emerging markets have relatively underdeveloped financial markets, high volatility in their economic progress, and the institutions for distribution of capital are not as strong as in developed countries. This leads to the notion that capital is not highly available and that it comes at a high cost in emerging markets. Compared to EMs, the financial markets in developed countries are well developed and characterized by e.g. access to venture capital, transparency in accounting standards, and a properly functioning banking system. Furthermore, the government institutions that support business activities are less than in developed countries. Finally, many of the emerging countries have higher levels of corruption than developed counterparts. In contrast, in developed countries companies can rely on a functioning legal system, which includes enforcement of legal contracts.
