Africa: A market whose time has come?

Investing in any emerging market comes with risks, but in Africa, are the risks outweighed by opportunities?

How and why do the experts say that the continent will catch up with the rest of the world so quickly?
Everyone thinks they know Africa, but do they really? We challenge you to set aside your assumptions and take a look at the Africa of today.

With this in mind, Ballentine Partners hosted an event on May 15, 2014 at the Taj Boston for clients and advisors to hear a panel discussion from several professionals with deep experience on the topic.

You can view a recording of the panel discussion above.
