Examine below the long list of countries depicted in blue on the map, many located in high risk areas.
One of our key faculty, Mr. Sanjay Gupta, who is a former Wall Street executive with billions of dollars in transaction experience, has driven through (in an epic journey spread over a period of several years typically crossing scores of borders either in his Mercedes Benz 4x4 SUV or his BMW Mini Cooper Convertible while driving more than 80,000 kilometers), done transactions in, invested in or researched close to the ground all of these 70+ countries. In doing so, he coped with poor infrastructure such as bad roads and frequently no roads, managed tremendous risks such as from criminals, kidnappers, local militia, corrupt government officials and police officials seeking bribes from and to extort foreigners, fatal accidents that occur at abnormally high roads in many countries, natural disasters such as mudslides and earthquakes, political uprisings and demonstrations, drug wars such as those being waged in Mexico and Colombia, and even terrorism threats. Unlike most Wall Street "experts" who have never visited the regions they advise on and therefore don't know about the real conditions on the ground (no wonder you lose money if you listen to them), and worse, most business school professors and other academics who are clueless about the real world and therefore inadvertently do more harm to their students than good by implanting beliefs that are simply false, Sanjay has actually driven from border-to-border through scores of countries in all major continents, spoken with local business owners and executives, examined local stock markets and other capital markets, analyzed their macroeconomic prospects, invested in some of the more promising ones and published rare and insightful investments analysis that is made available only to our students. Sanjay's investments had positive returns during the 2008 crisis, a rare accomplishment, while Wall Street lost more than 30%, many hedge funds lost more than 50% and hundreds of banks including some bulge bracket investment banks who employ these 'experts' went bankrupt. At Swiss Finance, you get to learn about the real world from Mr. Sanjay Gupta.
