A currency war is not going to be good for speculative investments - say like the tech industry. Lets hope it does not come to this.


It won't be good for emerging markets or any high-beta investment. So yes, VC money could dry up in the next few months.


My expectation is VC money is less likely to be affected than the private equity funds. VC funds are pretty long-term and the the limited partners are locked in tight. It is the unicorns looking to raise money out of the private equity market or IPO who will really struggle if the market turns.
