The Emerging Market Landscape
A breadth of opportunities
Emerging market countries, on average, have larger
populations driving consumption, stronger economic
growth, higher foreign reserves and lower debt levels
compared to their developed market counterparts. These
sound fundamentals create a compelling argument for
investors to allocate a portion of their portfolios to emerging
market debt and equity.
