Mark Mobius dies at 89

The investment world is mourning the loss of Mark Mobius, who transformed the way the West viewed developing economies.

As a longtime fund manager at Franklin Templeton, Mobius was among the first to invest heavily in Hong Kong and mainland China.

His 'Indiana Jones' approach to investing often saw him traveling to remote locations to meet with company executives before committing capital.

Even in his late 80s, he remained a vocal bull on emerging markets, continuing to tout new opportunities until his final months.
