Honoring the memory of Dr. Mark Mobius

In recognition of his extraordinary contributions to the field of emerging markets, his pioneering leadership in global investment, and his enduring support of the Cañizares Center for Emerging Markets.

Mark was not only a legendary figure in emerging markets investing, but also someone whose curiosity, optimism, and generosity left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege to know him. His work transformed how global investors approached emerging economies and opened new frontiers for opportunity.

We were fortunate to benefit from his steadfast support—especially his enthusiastic backing of the Mark Mobius Pitch Competition that proudly bears his name. He engaged deeply with our students, our advisory board, and our broader community, always encouraging the next generation. He was forward-looking, energetic, and deeply engaged with the world and positive about emerging markets.

It has been a true honor to work with him over the years. He will be deeply missed.
