In this episode of The Small Print, Bronwyn is joined by Perth Tolle, founder of Life + Liberty Indexes, the world’s first freedom-weighted emerging markets index. What is freedom-weighting? How do you define freedom? They talk about the shortcomings of traditional ETFs, which emerging markets are currently performing best, and why China and Saudi Arabia are excluded from their index. Bronwyn and Perth also discuss China’s “missing women” phenomenon, the relationship between social liberties and long-term economic benefits, and why South Africa’s politically engaged public is a sign of hope.
