Emerging Market Solutions

Blending the science of quantitative research with the art of active fundamental analysis provides a holistic view of emerging markets (EM) opportunities. Our range of EM equity, fixed income and multi-asset solutions harnesses this approach, complemented by an innovative technology toolkit, to help deliver better outcomes for our clients.

Why Emerging Markets?

Transformative Trends Drive Long-Term Growth Opportunities and Income Potential

Emerging markets can offer the potential for strong long-term growth and income generation if you have the expertise to actively seek out the most attractive investment opportunities, while managing the associated risk and volatility. Exposure to EM can also offer diversification to complement a broader developed market portfolio. 

Drivers of Change and Innovation

Themes such as the continuing rise of middle-class wealth, accelerated digital transformation, nearshoring and decarbonization are set to be key growth drivers across asset classes. Many EM companies are at the forefront of innovation in these areas, presenting attractive investment opportunities.

Market and Macro Catalysts

After a challenging decade for EM, global investors are starting to reallocate due to a potential weakening of the US dollar and the anticipated rate cuts by the Fed and other central banks. Opportunities for return potential and mispricing across asset classes are also being driven by divergences in economic cycles, corporate fundamentals and currencies. 

Alpha* Potential and Diversification

The variety within EM across geographies, asset classes and sectors present a unique opportunity to uncover a range of diversified, high quality investment ideas—and to capture alpha potential. EM assets also tend to have low correlation with developed market assets, offering diversification benefits and potentially reducing overall portfolio risk.

The value of an investment can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount they invested. Capital is at risk. There can be no assurance that any investment objectives will be achieved.

*Alpha is a measure of the active return on an investment, i.e. the performance of that investment compared with a suitable market index.

Why AB for EM?

Blending Art and Science for Better Outcomes

Quantitative research uses historical data and statistical techniques to identify the areas with most return potential. Fundamental research can uncover opportunities and identify downside risks based on human experience and perspective. In our multi-asset portfolios, we also use quant and tech tools to help inform the tactical asset allocation process.

Researching emerging markets can be challenging. Tools that help identify and monitor risks or incorporate real-time data and localized insights can help to address these challenges. They are crucial for thoroughly understanding investment opportunities and optimizing performance outcomes across the different asset classes.

At AB, we have developed a suite of advanced proprietary tools that form an integral part of our decision-making processes. From analysing currency risk to company fundamentals to enhancing trading and portfolio construction, our range of tools help us scrutinize potential sources of alpha and improve risk management across our breadth of investment solutions.
