Emerging markets and the dollar: why not to be bearish on EM for too long

| Emerging Markets Equities

  • The US dollar and dollar liquidity is a key driver of emerging economies and capital markets.
  • We think that investors have assumed that this is the new
    normal - but pressure on the dollar is building.
  • Both current positioning of emerging economies and historical return patterns suggest that emerging market equities could
    deliver very strong returns when the dollar does roll over - investors should not stay bearish on EM for too long

Past performance is no guarantee of future performance.
The value of an investment and the income from it can fall as well as rise as a result of market and currency fluctuations and you may not get back the amount originally invested. Investing in companies in emerging markets involves higher risk than investing in established economies or securities markets. Emerging Markets may have less stable legal and political systems, which could affect the safe-keeping or value of assets. The Fund’s investments include shares in small-cap companies and these tend to be traded less frequently and in lower volumes than larger companies making them potentially less liquid and more volatile.
