The moves have forced investors in those markets to think twice about political risk and the best way to approach it, including what can be learnt from markets where such uncertainty goes with the territory. Richard Edgar, Editor in Chief, spoke to two Fidelity portfolio managers on different sides of the globe - Aruna Karunathilake in the UK and Alex Duffy in Singapore - to hear what lessons could be passed on.
