| Abstract: | When investing in developing economies, it pays to do your homework. Just ask Josephine Jimenez. Jimenez, co-manager of the $1.1 billion Montgomery Emerging Markets Fund, jetted to Chiapas after Indian peasants launched an uprising in the southern Mexican state early last year. Worried that the rebellion could signify deep problems for the economy, Jimenez spent several days poking around dusty public libraries and talking to local residents. But it was the impassioned sermons that convinced Jimenez that big troubles were brewing in a presidential election year. |
