| MARKET | |
| Emerging markets (EM) fixed income delivered positive returns in July, partially rebounding from the weak May-June period. EM sovereigns outperformed corporate and local currency debt, led by a strong rally in high-yield countries. Risk markets responded favorably to the potential for de-escalation of trade frictions between the U.S. and EU, while economic data was broadly supportive and the U.S. dollar and U.S. Treasuries moved sideways. A prolonged stretch of EM debt outflows reversed, although inflows were limited to hard currency assets. | |
| OUTLOOK | |
| Tighter global financial conditions have been negatively impacting EM returns in 2018. We view the sell-off as caused primarily by exogenous factors, including the U.S. Fed’s policy normalization and sentiment around trade disputes. After two strong years through early 2018, technicals have weighed on performance recently as retail flows turned negative for both EM debt and EM equities in the second quarter. However, while EM features select country-specific risks, we don’t see systemic issues. With exceptions, policymakers have taken appropriate measures like monetary tightening and prudent fiscal management in response to market conditions. | |
| We believe investors will be rewarded for considering EM debt as a strategic asset allocation and opportunistically adding to the asset class. On the whole, we believe EM countries enjoy solid fundamentals, including higher growth rates and lower debt burdens than developed countries. We believe EM debt offers an attractive diversification and income opportunity; long-run risk-adjusted returns consistently rank among the strongest in global fixed income. | |
