Fund Commentary
| MARKET | |
| Emerging market (EM) fixed income performance was subdued in April. Returns in EM sovereign and corporate credit were modestly positive as yields held steady against an uptick in U.S. Treasury yields. Local currency debt returns were slightly negative, with yields inching higher. However, outside of weakness in Turkey and volatility in Argentina, currency movements were generally contained against the U.S. dollar. Market technicals were supportive overall; inflows into EM debt prevailed but decelerated from the first quarter. | |
| OUTLOOK | |
| Global conditions are broadly supportive for EM assets: The Fed may be near the end of its tightening cycle, China’s economy appears to be stabilizing after a string of weaker data, and trade discussions between the U.S. and China seem to be making progress. We are alert to the risks around softer global growth, although near-term concerns around a recession in Europe or the U.S. may have been overstated. While Argentina and Turkey are likely to face continued volatility, we are generally constructive on the monetary and fiscal response of most EM countries to the evolving external environment. We are monitoring the policy implications of recent or upcoming elections in Argentina, Indonesia, India, Ukraine, Nigeria and South Africa, among others. | |
| We believe investors are well served to consider emerging-market debt (EMD) as a strategic asset allocation and opportunistically add to the asset class in periods of weakness. On whole, EM countries enjoy favorable fundamentals including higher growth rates and lower debt burdens than developed countries. EM debt offers an attractive diversification and income opportunity, and long-term risk-adjusted returns consistently stand among the strongest in global fixed income. The technical backdrop is supported by limited net issuance of U.S. dollar bonds and structural allocations to EMD by global institutional investors. | |
