The preference for value persists among emerging market investors with value oriented stocks
outpacing growth oriented stocks, a theme similarly displayed by investors across the
developed world.
April was a strong month for Latin America led by robust returns in Peru and Brazil. The
Middle East/Africa region as well as Asia finished slightly positive, while Eastern Europe
continued its downward slide and finished the period with a -4.5% (USD) loss, dragged down
by the Ukrainian crisis.
Emerging Markets Equity Outlook:
m12c
0.995
Emerging markets advanced modestly for the third consecutive month, recouping losses in
January and bringing year to date performance back to nearly a flat level. However, emerging
market equities trailed developed market equities in April and trail thus far in 2014.
Similar to developed markets, investors are exhibiting a preference for value over growth.
Investors continue to favor quality factors such as profit margin, earnings quality and analyst
insight, while unwinding their preference for risk attributes such as distress and volatility.
Within sectors, Technology and Utilities are favored while Materials and Telecom are
penalized.
Regional preferences remain mixed as Taiwan, South Africa and Latin America offer higher
expected returns, while China, Eastern Europe, Russia, Brazil and Mexico are less attractive.
