Brian Lippey serves as the founder and CEO of Caledonia Partners, a family-run financial firm with a focus on alternative investment strategies. Brian Lippey is especially experienced in emerging markets, particularly in Asia where he has traveled extensively. Emerging markets are the new frontiers in economics. These markets are characterized by rapid growth and increasing industrialization in historically less-developed nations, conditions which are often ripe for investing.Emerging markets often represent high risks due to volatility and changing political and economic pressures. Political upheaval, fluctuations in currency, and regulatory changes can compound or mitigate these inherent risks, depending on circumstances. On the other hand, emerging markets represent a new place in global economics, and leaders in these markets may offer more opportunities for capital gains. These markets often grow rapidly while they develop, offering significantly more growth than a mature economy like the United States, which grows only three percent annually.
