Invest in Africa

For a long-time now Africa has sustained continuous economic growth yet got little credit in which it deserves. In the past 6 years, Africa’s economic growth has sustained a 6% increase. It has grown much faster than Europe even throughout Europe’s boom years. It has strong capital standing. Governments have lower debts as big stimulus weren’t necessary, loans were not handed out free willing so there is very little consumer debt or much debt altogether. Corporations are growing at rapid paces using their leveraged balance sheets to promote further growth. The economic machine has just started to turn in Africa and when it does there is a huge bull market ahead. Basically everything in life comes down to supply and demand. When someone wants something and everyone else finds out it goes up. Well Africa has the supply, and the demand is on its way. Africa is a natural resources rich nation that is in demand for major infrastructure up hauls. Visiting South Africa last year I noticed that, as with the anticipation of the 2010 World Cup new construction projects are everywhere. They have invested billions in new infrastructure projects and are continuing to look to expand as they look to close the barriers between them and the outside world. China has taken a huge interest within Africa due to both the need for infrastructure and the natural resources. America to is expected to improve its relationship with the nation under the Obama administration and become business partners. I see a high economic ceiling for Africa in the following sectors: Commodities, Infrastructure, Real Estate, and Telecom. The countries I am going to focus my investments around are: Nigeria, Algeria, Kenya, Ivory Coast, South Africa, and Morocco. Africa is a goldmine waiting to be mined. Its obtains a plethora of opportunities waiting to be tapped into. Check back in soon for further research on which stocks within the African Nation to invest in.

The best way for most folks to invest in South Africa in my opinion is to invest in ETFs, or exchange traded funds, that follow the South African stock market. My personal favorite is the Ishares MCSI South Africa ETF, EZA.One can make a very macro bet on South Africa with such a vehicle without involving oneself in the minutia of stock statistics or by incurring the costs of mutual funds.ETFs are very low in cost. Typically the internal fees of exchange traded funds are near zero. Also one need not worry about paying a broker a large load. The only commission you will pay your broker is the relatively small one you incur when you buy or sell. If you do business with a discount broker the cost of such moves is also close to nothing.
