Planning for long term success in emerging market debt
Kirstie Spence
Portfolio Manager

The fast-paced evolution of EMD as an asset class necessitates an investment approach that can adapt swiftly. At its inception in the mid-1990s, EMD was a relatively narrow asset class consisting of just 12-15 countries issuing hard currency debt. This was often in response to crises in those countries. As illustrated in the chart below, little changed until the early 2000s when local currency debt bonds and corporate bonds were introduced. Since then, the asset class has gradually expanded to encompass almost 70 countries1, issuing a broader range of debt instruments. In addition, some countries have made significant progress in establishing local yield curves, reducing their vulnerability to fluctuations in the US dollar and enhancing stability.
