Therefore, remaining aware of the country at hand is even more important. In the past, there has been a debate that is currently without conclusive evidence as to whether emerging market equities are subject to more significant influence via country or industry risk factors. It is not generally thought that country risks supersede industry risks to some degree.<\/p>\n<p>Emerging market equity investors need to focus on how the value of their ownership claims might be confiscated by the government, corporate insiders, or dominant shareholders.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2>Question<\/h2>\n<p>Which of the following <em>most likely<\/em> explains the relationship among emerging equity markets?<\/p>\n<ol type=\"A\">\n<li>Homogenous.<\/li>\n<li>Heterogeneous.<\/li>\n<li>Heteroskedastic.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Solution<\/h4>\n<p><strong>The correct answer is B<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Heterogeneous means different or varied in characteristics.
