The International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently flagged an outside chance of a crisis in emerging markets.

How real is a "crisis" brewing here in this part of the world -- Southeast Asia?

We discuss this with Vishnu.

IMF also warned that investors are underestimating the risk of a financial shock today.

Does Vishnu agree and what investment strategies should investors adopt today?

He weighs in.
