Except living standards are improving in Africa and have been for a while outside actively unstable regions.
Underdeveloped Africa is actually a good but risky place to invest partly because or diminished returns run backwards - smaller investments can get bigger returns but they are more vulnerable to things like economic downturns. And fortunately that also boosts efficiency to sustain the resource needs.
- yardie 7y agoI have a few funds invested that target Africa. They have consistently underperformed even in this bullish market. But like a compulsive gambler I hang onto them wishing and hoping this time things are going to turn around. Africa may be a good investment, but the inflection point may take decades to arrive.
- orwin 7y agoYou might want to target eastern Africa. Not all countries, but Ethiopia and maybe some countries in the EAC (especially if the constitution is accepted by all). As long as western Africa does not break free from the CFA, i don't see any equivalent there anytime soon.
