Editor's note: Don't be a victim of "China-phobia"... or your portfolio could suffer.

This phenomenon extends beyond the borders of China, too... Right now, investors can go "back to the future" to find incredible wealth-building opportunities in other Asian emerging markets.

As True Wealth Opportunities: China analyst Brian Tycangco explains in today's Masters Series – adapted from the September 8 and September 9 editions of our free DailyWealth e-letter – these "Next Chinas" are poised to follow China's path to success and dominance...

The Biggest Opportunity of the Decade Is Starting Now

By Brian Tycangco, analyst, True Wealth Opportunities: China

A new bull market is just getting underway...

It has the potential to overshadow the tremendous gains the U.S. market saw over the last decade.

Indeed, this very same market helped a small group of investors pull down three times the returns in the S&P 500 Index during one of Wall Street's best periods in history.

Now, I don't say this lightly. But this could be the last opportunity you'll have to profit from this kind of boom...

There's good news, though. I'm perfectly situated to show you what opportunities lie ahead. The reason is simple... My entire life has prepared me for this moment.

In last Tuesday's Digest, I explained that I've been living right in the middle of this incredible opportunity. It's a market that has largely been off-limits to investors like you for too long.

From my front-row seat, I've seen the potentially life-changing gains for myself. As I said on Tuesday...

It started with my dad, who taught me about the stock market when I was just barely a teenager. He was a surgeon by profession. But that wasn't exactly a path to riches in the Philippines, where we lived.

Instead, it was his stock investments in this part of the world that afforded us a beautiful home worth millions of dollars... not to mention a huge diamond ring for my mother.

I fell in love with investing instantly... And after graduating with a degree in economics, I started learning the ropes. I paid my dues, working for scraps as a stock trader.

In a couple of years, I was doing research for banking giant BNP Paribas analyzing food and beverage companies. Now, those were much more rewarding times...

The pay was better than what I made as a professional stock trader. I managed to make enough money to take my wife (then girlfriend) out on some nice dates.

That's also when I made one of my first big wealth-building calls for investors. In Tuesday's Digest, I shared all the details...

You've probably never heard of Jollibee Foods. And that's understandable...

But the company only went on to clobber McDonald's (MCD) in the Philippines – a country with 100 million consumers.

Today, Jollibee is still beating McDonald's in the Philippines. It has even branched out overseas, including many parts of the coastal U.S.

Along the way, the company has managed to buy up Burger King's local partner, as well as build the Philippines' largest pizza chain.

Investors who got in early could have made as much as 3,325%.

Meanwhile, investors in McDonald's did only one-third as well.

That's the kind of opportunity setting up in my part of the world... in emerging markets.

And importantly, I'm not talking about China. Instead, I'm talking about countries and companies set to become the "Next Chinas"...

These companies are set to rise like China's greatest companies have over the last decade, as Asia's emerging markets follow China's path to success and dominance.

There's a lot to this story. So now, I'll give you a few more details on what's going on... and why today's opportunity is so incredible. We'll start with a step back in time...

I'm sure you know the 1985 movie Back to the Future.

In it, the main character Marty McFly time travels in a nuclear-powered DeLorean to right old wrongs and change the course of his life.

Living out here in Asia, I often feel like a Marty McFly (minus the cool DeLorean). That's because being here today is like going back in time to when America's biggest success stories were just getting started.

It's creating a massive opportunity. But unfortunately, most Americans are missing it completely. I don't want you to make the same mistake. So I'll share exactly what's going on...

The idea of going back to the future should be darn appealing for investors.

I'm talking about finding companies like Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), and Facebook (FB) before they became the industry giants they are today.

Today, these four U.S. giants alone are so big, they make up nearly one-fifth of the S&P 500 Index. Three of them are worth well over $1 trillion.

Even Asia's brightest stars are in a league below. And that's exactly why our opportunity is so great today...

Asia's largest company, Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba (BABA), is worth roughly $750 billion. That's big – but it's still barely a third of Apple's market capitalization. And it's roughly the same size as Facebook, too.

Asia's second-largest company, Tencent (0700.HK), is also based in China. It's worth slightly less than Alibaba at around $650 billion.

Buying into these Chinese companies a decade ago was like going back to the future then. They've grown tremendously – and it's not over yet.

But here's the thing you must understand... China was just the opening act.

China's economy is now 13 times larger than when I started in the business. The U.S. just barely managed to double its economy during the same period.

There are still plenty of opportunities in China, of course. But the cream off the top is already gone. The "easy" money has been made.

If we want to earn incredible profits, you need to look further than China. You need to focus on emerging markets as a whole... where the "Next Chinas" are on the rise.

You might not realize it, but China's success is a direct result of its growing middle class...

China adds roughly 24 million city dwellers to its middle class each year. But the base is now too big – just two years from now, roughly 650 million people will make up China's middle class. So it's simply not having the same economic impact as it did 20 years ago.

Meanwhile, other emerging markets are just at the beginning of that steep upward curve in the middle-class boom...

India is growing so fast, its middle-class population is expected to balloon to 580 million by 2025, up sevenfold from 2018. That's 70 million people joining the ranks of the middle class each year.

Another large Asian nation is Indonesia. It has a population nearly the size of the U.S.

According to the McKinsey Institute, its middle-class population will reach 135 million by 2030, up from just 52 million today. That's another 8 million or so people in the Next Chinas going up the socioeconomic ladder each year.

If you include Indonesia with other emerging economies of Southeast Asia, like Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, the number doubles to more than 15 million per year.

So what I'm talking about right now is a part of the world where 85 million people are joining the middle class annually. Or said another way, it's like the population of Germany joining the middle class every single year.

I've only seen this kind of economic prosperity once before – in China. And when you're faced with this intense level of wealth creation, it's fertile ground for future Amazons, Apples, Tencents, and Alibabas.

Most investors are completely missing this opportunity. They think of emerging markets as a laggard of the last decade... or worse, as a dangerous place to invest. But that couldn't be further from the truth.

This is where the big opportunities are just getting started. And if you're willing to get a little uncomfortable with your investing, I'm certain a few smart bets in emerging markets will make for incredible profits in the years to come.

Good investing,

And just a few days ago, he released a brand-new presentation to show exactly what's going on. He explains how this trend could lead to quadruple-digit gains... and much more.
