Emerging Markets pioneer Mark Mobius believes a military conflict between China and Taiwan is the most worrying possibility on the macro landscape right now, but that’s not stopping him from picking up opportunities. In his view, the strong U.S. dollar isn’t the ‘wrecking ball’ it’s been dubbed. He’s using a bottom-up approach and a long-term time horizon to spot companies that benefit from having a weaker currency. He’s particularly upbeat about India, Mexico, South Africa and Turkey. Even though he's strong on digital payments, cryptocurrency is one asset class where he’s not a believer. “The price of a crypto is based on faith”, he says, and when people lose faith, “it becomes worthless”.
