Emerging Markets Debt
Emerging Markets Debt (EMD) has generally remained one of the best performing asset classes for over 10 years, despite high profile crises. As part of a broader portfolio, EMD has the potential to enhance returns, providing diversification benefits for investors. We believe that most investors should at least allocate a modest holding to emerging debt, while investors more tolerant of risk should consider a more significant holding.
Our philosophy and process are based on the following key beliefs:
Top quality research is the key to added value
- Independent proprietary research; detailed research notes completed for each credit
- Focus on country and corporate fundamentals, market structural analysis
- Analysis of entire emerging market universe; hard & local currency sovereign debt, foreign exchange, corporates and credit derivatives
Application of a rigorous, risk controlled investment process generates strong returns
- Focus on forward looking scenarios
- We believe historic volatility and correlation are not good predictors of risk
Leverage off wider fixed income platform
