In his eight years based there, he managed money for several leading Asian investment houses, including running the original Tiger Fund and the largest UK listed closed-end Asian investment fund for Thornton Management, finishing as Senior Investment Officer responsible for over $1 billion in assets at Citigroup Asset Management (Asia). He then was a co-founder and investment manager at a specialist Asian fund management company based in San Francisco from 1996-1999. Gavin' extensive emerging markets experience gained during a period of rapid growth in the leading Asian economies makes him well qualified to provide insight and analysis \on Emerging and Frontier Markets Investing.

Recently he has co-written "Investing in Frontier Markets" with co-author Al Emid, published by Wiley in 2013 and "Frontier Markets for Dummies" (Wiley) due out in early 2014 and hosts Emerging and Frontier Markets Investing on the VoiceAmerica Business network. Moving into the anchor\s chair on Emerging and Frontier Markets Investing was a logical step after many years of experience acting as a media commentator on investing topics for many trade publications, radio and television networks.
