Gareth Henry is not the only Fortress spokesperson to believe that Brazil is where to put your money. Also, Mike Novogratz is one who considers Brazil is the way to go for investors.

Dilma Rouseff is expected to lose the election. The chances of him winning the election will be less than they were at the day Gareth Henry was speaking before the Alpha Hedge West conference. With the change in leadership there is supposed to be a change in the economics of Brazil.

With the potential of a new Brazilian president, there will be a shift in Brazilian assets. This shift is expected to be an upward shift. There will be numerous assets to look at in the near future.

Other than Brazil being a sound investment, Henry thinks Japan and Scotland are worth looking into as well. There are various excellent ventures for investors in both nations.

Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe will create a shift in the economics of the nation. This is supposed to be one of the best shifts at Japan and investors in Japan have seen in a long time.

Investors can take a look at Scotland because of the turmoil that ensued over the recent shift in the vote for independence. This is supposed to make a shift in the economics of Scotland. This is going to be one of the biggest upward shifts investors will see a long time coming.
