How can investors capture the AI opportunity in emerging markets beyond the familiar mega-cap names?
A recent Citywire article highlights how Mobius Investment Trust (MMIT) is finding opportunities further down the value chain, particularly among innovative small and mid-cap companies that often sit outside mainstream emerging market portfolios.
