When it comes to emerging markets, few investors think of Iran. That, according to Maciej Wojtal, the CIO of Amtelon Capital, is an oversight. In a fascinating conversation with Brent Johnson, the CEO of Santiago Capital, Wojtal makes a compelling case for a country many consider uninvestable. His evidence includes the following: a large, young, well-educated, vibrant population; huge amounts of natural resources; little personal and institutional debt; and a highly regulated and liquid stock market with valuations unheard of in developed markets. Geopolitics will be a major issue for the foreseeable future when it comes to investing in Iran. But, as Wojtal notes, circumstances are evolving in a positive way, and he’s optimistic Washington will soon make a new deal with Tehran. Perhaps it’s time to consider Iran through a post-sanctions lens. Recorded on March 7, 2022.
