Patricia Ng

Patricia Ng specializes in emerging and frontier markets, analyzing investment opportunities in the developing economies that will drive global growth this century. Born in Singapore and educated at the National University of Singapore and Columbia University, Patricia spent years at the World Bank and IFC before joining an emerging markets fund. Her career has taken her across Latin America, Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, meeting entrepreneurs, government officials, and local investors. Patricia understands the unique challenges these markets present—political instability, currency volatility, less developed institutions, regulatory uncertainty—alongside the compelling growth opportunities. She analyzes how demographics, urbanization, digitalization, and rising middle classes create investment themes often years ahead of developed market awareness. Patricia evaluates country risk, currency dynamics, and which local companies can become regional or global champions. She was early on Indonesian e-commerce, African mobile money, and Latin American fintech. Her analysis helps adventurous investors access high-growth markets while managing the elevated risks. Patricia also tracks how China's Belt and Road Initiative reshapes emerging economies. Based in Singapore with constant travel to frontier markets, she provides ground-level insight into markets most investors only read about.
