Mastering Emerging Market Funds - How Fund Managers Win and What Investors Look for

Why do some emerging market fund managers thrive while others, equally talented, never make it past first close?

Mastering Emerging Market Funds is the definitive practitioner’s guide for fund managers and the investors who back them. Now substantially revised and expanded in its second edition, the book introduces two original frameworks: the KNC Framework — the three drivers of success (Knowledge, Network and Capital) — and the SIRIO Model, a structural guide balancing Strategy, Investor Relations and Internal Organization.

Drawing on case studies, the book provides actionable insights on crafting strategies in volatile markets, building meaningful LP relationships, leveraging AI and ESG as competitive advantages, navigating exits and secondary markets, and stepping out of the constant fundraising cycle.

Whether you are a first-time manager, an established GP or an LP evaluating your next commitment, this book offers the frameworks and hard-won wisdom to make better decisions.
