Frontier Markets Don’t Have a Capital Problem. They Have a Liquidity Problem
Why the constraint in many growth markets is not simply the availability of capital, but the institutional architecture that allows capital to enter, remain, recycle and exit.
TM Alpha Thesis
Capital entering a market is optimism. Capital exiting at scale is proof.
About this Intelligence
This Intelligence examines how credible pathways to exit and capital recycling shape investor confidence, capital pricing and long-term market development. It introduces the Liquidity Architecture Framework™, a TM Alpha model for examining the institutional conditions that support liquidity.
