This post is an index for all South Asia and Central Asia stocks covered and tagged under our EM Stock Pick Tear Sheets (plus additional untagged stocks) organized as follows:
Note: The links above to the relevant post sections below will only work for paid subscribers.
And for individual stocks:
๐๐ etc. This is fairly subjective as, for example, many stocks are part of global supply chains rather than domestic companies.
๐๏ธ State owned, controlled, or influenced companies.
๐ผ๐ป ESG friendly stock e.g. renewable energy. This is fairly subjective.
๐ ฟ๏ธ Preference shares available (Note: I donโt see a comprehensive list of preference shares or preferred stocks readily available on the Internetโฆ).
A very short description of the stock with links to the IR page and stock quote(s) on Yahoo! Finance or other sites.
Any Wikipedia page (denoted by ๐ผ) and a Substack stock tag link (denoted by ๐ท๏ธ) linked to any post under EM Stock Pick Tear Sheets.
Titles linked to any good or in-depth research from funds etc covering the stock or our posts (denoted by โ ).
And as always, this post is provided for informational purposes only (and to make your life easierโฆ). It does not constitute investment advice and/or a recommendationโฆ
The goal is to build up a database or index of international, frontier, and emerging market stocks that have research available or are owned by international stock funds.
This means there is considerable room for improvement for these index posts over the coming months e.g. adding an icon link to any Wikipedia page (e.g. via an icon) as such pages usually mention any scandals or problems a stock may have add; tagging and adding additional stocks from 2023 EM Fund Stock Picks posts; organizing stocks by industry for countries that have many stocks covered, etc.
