Investors adopt 'wait and see' approach - SA

[dArKeR]

Many foreign investors are currently adopting a "wait and see" attitude towards investing in South Africa, despite the country's many positive factors and perceptions of it having a relatively moderate risk-reward payoff over five years, according to a newly released report on foreign investor perceptions of South Africa compiled by Russell 20-20.

Representatives of Russell 20-20, a US-based non-profit association comprised of international investment managers and pension funds, visited South Africa in the week of October 19 to brief South African government and business leaders. The report, Russell EMPulse, was presented to President Thabo Mbeki, having been developed as a tool to convey perceptions of emerging markets as an indicator for government and business leaders, as well as investors.
