First off, as most US, Japanese and European investors are most heavily into listed stocks and bonds, these will be the ones most under pressure. One trend that is expected to offset this withdrawal of funds is the increase in savings from the Chinese and Indian middle classes. Will these new investors take the place of the retiring ones? Time will only tell, but this instability should cause institutional investors to think twice about staying in most common equities. Secondly, those remaining investors, faced with an uncertain (at best) market in traditional vehicles, will look for high growth opportunities to offset poor performance by established equities and debt. Obviously emerging economies will be high on the list, but foreign exposure will come into play as investors look to get local high growth to reduce the exchange issues. Investments in start-ups are net-new, and don’t have the down side of investor withdrawals. Furthermore, with possible high rewards, against a sea of uncertainty with limited growth, new investments may look positively glowing. Finally, with this net increase of investment from emerging nations, the industrial nation’s currencies will gain in value, further emphasising the need to invest within industrial nations rather than face potential currency losses on foreign high growth opportunities. So, all in all, the next few years should be very good for start-ups that are looking for capital.

The “Better Product” fallacy By Arvind Kumar Another fallacy ingrained in the minds of most marketing managers is the belief that the better product will win the marketing battle.Behind the thinking of many marketing managers is the thought that “truth will out.”In other words, if you have the “facts” on your side, it’s only necessary to find a good advertising agency who can communicate those facts to the prospect and a good sales force that can close the sale.We call this approach “inside-out thinking”- that somehow the advertising age… 4.
