Is India the Perfect Emerging Market? | Bangalore

Kevin T. Carter is the Founder & Chief Investment Officer of EMQQ Global and the Founder of three NYSE listed ETFs focused on the Emerging Markets Internet sector: tickers EMQQ, FMQQ, and INQQ. His current focus is on INQQ The India Internet ETF which tracks the Indian “new age” tech sector including companies like Zomato, MakeMyTrip, Policy Bazaar, NYKAA, etc. While he considers himself an active investor first and foremost, he has collaborated with Princeton economist and indexing legend, Dr. Burton Malkiel, for more than 25 years. Their work together began in 1999 with the development of eInvesting, a pioneer firm in fractional share brokerage that was acquired by ETRADE in 2000. In 2002 they founded Active Index Advisors, a pioneer in so-called “direct indexing” that was acquired by Natixis Asset Management in 2005. In 2006, their efforts turned to China and Emerging Markets with Dr. Malkiel’s publishing of “Investment Strategies to Exploit Economic Growth in China” and the subsequent book From Wall Street to the Great Wall. In 2009 Mr. Carter conceived and launched the first China tech focused ETF with Guggenheim Partners (NYSE: CQQQ). In 2014 he launched EMQQ when he realized the digital consumption revolution he was seeing in China would soon sweep the rest of emerging markets.
