• India stands out with its rapid economic expansion, large population, and pro-business reforms under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership.
• Schwartz emphasizes the importance of currency hedging to mitigate the risks associated with fluctuating foreign currencies, which can significantly impact investment returns.
