Not advocating any of them just mentioning it. Currency risk absolutely does exist especially SA in my humble opinion. Buying cash at a discount with a proven management team and a moat seems prudent as Simon mentions.

Lots of people i know invest with emerging countries through these funds. In China, there is an illegal but wide network of loan sharks, some of which only loan out to corporations at 30-50%!

The banks I've talke to would only give up to around 2% even for very long term deposits. And they told me it's like that in Thailand. Where do you get 8% in Thailand?
