Welcome to the 4th Annual Emerging Markets Private Equity Forum, co-hosted by PEI and EMPEA.
As a reflection on the recent success story of the world’s emerging markets, EMPEA’s 2008 LP Survey found that 74 percent of those surveyed expected greater commitments to emerging markets over the next three to five years.
