About the Author

Gavin Serkin has been writing about developing economies for the best part of two decades as the Editor of Portfolio International magazine and more recently as the head of the emerging markets international desk at Bloomberg News in London.

His work keeps him in touch with some of the biggest investors and world leaders, chairing conference panels on issues from African development and Chinese growth to Islamic finance.

Gavin led Bloomberg's coverage of the credit and derivatives markets from 2004 to 2008, winning the Society of American Business Editors & Writers' Best in Business Award and the Society of Professional Journalists' Deadline Club Award. His team's exposure of problems brewing in the littleunderstood world of collateralized debt obligations provided warnings of the subprime mortgages disaster about to unfold.

Gavin has a joint honors degree in Economics & International Relations. He lives by the sea in Whitstable, England, with his wife and son.

Photography by Gabriel Rotich, A24 Media

One's destination is never a place but a new way of looking at things.

Henry Miller

Where's the best place in the world to put your money?

So far this decade, it's a country deemed so doomed it's listed with the ten most fragile states; a place where modern-day slavery, violence and the breakdown of law and order rank it among the three worst hellholes on the planet.

Between deadly attacks by the Taliban, strikes by US drones and the secret missions to monitor Osama bin Laden, shares in Karachi soared, extending 1000% gains this century.

It's not just Pakistan.

In the face of terror and global economic shocks, some of the biggest investment rewards are turning up in the most vulnerable of places. Assets in impoverished, radicalized or seemingly impenetrable corners of the world are often wildly discounted. Even a glimmer of hope for political stability or improvement in the economy can spark a major rally ().

Note: Data compiled by Bloomberg as of December 2014. Table excludes Venezuela Stock Market Index and Lusaka Stock Exchange All Share Index because of restrictions on repatriating foreign-currency returns or data constraints. Base currency: US dollar. (Function: WEIS GO).

At one time such countries were looked upon as exotic by a few -investors while mostly dismissed as basket cases. Now they form a -growing -investment universe known as the frontier markets a gateway before the more -mainstream emerging and developed markets that have trillions of -dollars of investment funds competing to buy assets. While some rank as frontier because they have restrictive investment laws or tiny markets, most are poor or riven by conflict.
