Markets with concentrated listed universes, where liquidity, currency convertibility and disclosure quality constrain the researchable set.
Regions organise; countries define
There is no Africa Structural Alpha Index and no Africa Alpha Portfolio. Each market below carries its own Index and its own Portfolio.
