Manga Mark Mobius – An Illustrated Biography of the Father of Emerging Markets Funds by Kaoru Kurotani
My review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
[My review is based on the Bahasa (Indonesian) translation of this book]
Certainly not the first economic/finance book I’ve read using a comic style. But, the manga style proved to be the first for me and so far the best at conveying the topic in a comic book format. It is a short biography of Mark Mobius and a crash course to investing in emerging market countries. There are plenty of historical examples where Mobius had encountered various situations that called for significant investment decisions and his rationale behind them. Also illustrated in the manga, are side stories that add to the biography’s overall nuance.
The book has piqued my interest in reading more on Mobius sometime in the future and also on Templeton, the firm where he worked as a fund manager specializing in emerging market
