Global Finance

Recommended supplement

This is one of the those publications that you have to have a look at. Fortunately, it's a market magazine; unfortunately, it isn't at too many newsstands. So try at your library or call for a sample copy. Global Finance bested The Economist, Institutional Investor, and Euromoney to win Financial Digest's coveted "Most Sophisticated Reportage Award" and earned the prestigious Jesse H. Neal Award for editorial achievement in 1993 and 1995. Global Finance writers, the editors tell us, travel the earth to observe where the money is and where it's going. They inform you about regional developments, emerging markets, privatization, bond issuances, private placements, new products, technology, and more. Plus you can get to know more than a few of the players influencing their nation's-and the world's-economies. The magazine is about 160 pages, wonderfully formatted, colorful, and a pleasure to read.

Global Finance is perhaps best at providing independent, accurate, unbiased, clear-sighted coverage of the worldwide financial scene. This is excellent research material with in-depth analysis, focused regional coverage, and monthly Global Finance world market indexes that measure international trends.

Global Finance also offers special publications, such as Best Practices In Risk Management and The Global Finance Guide to Direct Investing in Emerging Markets. At times a special reports section is included at the back and covers topics as unique as they are distant: from hot properties in the Philippines to power plants in India, from investments with the Russian bear to slumbering Brazilian hyperinflation.

The personal side of finance could simply be that one wishes to invest and live internationally. International Living (ISSN 0277-2442) is an insider's monthly newsletter on what's happening in international real estate, investments, and travel from Agora Inc., (410) 223-2605, e-mail: 103114.2472@compuserve.com.

In August 1996, International Living offered:

We visit a walled hill city in southern Portugal-viewing it through the eyes of a Canadian Muslim. We look at beautiful Baya California from the height of a kayak. We visit Vicenze-contemplating the site of one of the most transforming moments in the history of architecture. Our intrepid staffers find housing bargains in Venezuela, bicycle bargains in Holland, and budget buys in Japan, of all places.

It's a very informative little publication (I subscribe) and shows you how to invest and live cheaply in all sorts of interesting places from Paris to Belize.
