Value Investing Live: Kevin Carter
Kevin T. Carter is the founder and chief investment officer of EMQQ (EMQQ, Financial), an exchange-traded fund. While he considers himself an active "value" investor first and foremost, he has collaborated with Princeton economist and indexing legend, Dr. Burton Malkiel, for more than 20 years. Their work together began in 1999 with the development of eInvesting, a pioneer firm in fractional share brokerage that was acquired by E-Trade in 2000.
In 2002 ,they founded Active Index Advisors, a pioneer in so-called "direct indexing" that was acquired by Natixis Asset Management in 2005. In 2006, their efforts turned to China and Emerging Markets with Malkiel's publishing of "Investment Strategies to Exploit Economic Growth in China" and the subsequent book “From Wall Street to the Great Wall.” Working with Guggenheim Partners, they launched several China-focused ETFs on the New York Stock Exchange.
Carter launched EMQQ in 2014 after noticing how the smartphone was changing his personal consumption habits. He now lives in Lafayette, California with his wife and three children.
