CFA Conference: Arjun Divecha

Managing the Emerging Market Portfolio

Moderated by George R. Hoguet, CFA, State Street Global Advisors

Arjun Divecha is chairman of GMO’s board of directors, where he is responsible for overseeing the team managing the GMO Emerging Markets Strategy, GMO Emerging Countries Strategy, and GMO Emerging Illiquid Strategy.
