Eric Fine's interest in emerging markets (EM) stems from his unique upbringing and professional experiences, including working with the US government in Russia during a pivotal era of change. He helped install the first clearing system in Russia, pivotal during its voucher privatization in the early 90s. His experience cemented his belief in the potential of emerging economies, which he finds more fascinating than developed markets due to their political risks and growth prospects. Natalia Guraisina shares a similar passion derived from her early life in the Soviet Union, where she recognized the crucial need for rapid structural economic reforms during crises, shaping her perspective on the inherent dynamism within emerging markets.
