MOBIUS MOBILISING ON IRAQ

MARK Mobius, the enigmatic world authority on emerging markets investment from US fund giant Franklin Templeton, is to start investing in war-torn Iraq. The so-called “Yul Brynner of Wall Street” said he would start investing in six months to a year. He hopes to tap into strong growth in the Middle Eastern nation. Mobius made the pledge at a briefing to mark the 20th anniversary of Temit, his UK investment trust.
