Change Global Investment
Overview
Change Global Investment is a private equity firm specializing in emerging and frontier markets. The firm focuses on identifying and capitalizing on growth opportunities in developing economies, leveraging its deep cultural fluency and on-the-ground presence to uncover pricing inefficiencies. With a team of investment professionals born and raised in the regions they cover, Change Global Investment employs a dual approach of top-down and bottom-up analysis. This strategy enables the firm to invest in companies within the appropriate macro and country contexts, a critical distinction in developing markets where country-level dynamics can significantly influence stock-level outcomes. The firm's investment process is designed to generate alpha in markets and stocks where structural or cyclical inefficiencies create pricing gaps that fundamental research can exploit. By combining systematic and discretionary strategies in a multi-strategy portfolio, Change Global Investment aims to continuously adapt to global changes, minimizing risk for long-term wealth accumulation. Change Global Investment was founded by Thea Jamison, a seasoned investor with over 20 years of experience in emerging and frontier markets. Ms. Jamison has researched opportunities in over 90 countries and invested directly on 60 local stock exchanges. She is widely recognized as a thought leader and is a frequent speaker at influential industry conferences and a contributor to major global financial media outlets. The firm's investment philosophy centers on the conviction that emerging and frontier markets are fundamentally mispriced, offering some of the world's fastest-growing economies, a rising middle class, favorable demographic profiles, and accelerating technology adoption. Change Global Investment is uniquely positioned, through its firsthand cultural expertise and deep regional networks, to identify and act on the most attractive opportunities before they are recognized by the broader market.
