The Problem
xMutual
Citizens of developing countries want easy access to high-quality passive investments.
A generation with rising incomes and smartphones is locked out of the world's deepest capital market.
01
Citizens in developing economies seek foreign investments to hedge against local currency depreciation.
02
Financial institutions in developed countries routinely reject clients from developing countries.
03
Securities markets in emerging nations are still maturing and face real liquidity challenges.
04
Emerging-nation debt is often high-risk and religiously impermissible for many savers.
05
Those who do want foreign-market access often lack the expertise to invest effectively.
