Save

Investors will need to navigate large cultural and economic differences, and find value amid the region's less efficient markets, Lucas told Bloomberg's Swetha Gopinath on a panel Thursday at the SuperReturn International conference in Berlin. Europe is a 'very, very important area,' though it's a complex place to navigate given the diversity of the different markets and number of smaller economies, he said.
