Hidden in Plain Sight: The Underappreciated Case for Emerging Markets
Emerging market (EM) stocks and bonds have been among the world’s best performers since early 2025, following years of weakness. But the spotlight isn’t shining as brightly as we might expect on EM countries and companies. Investors who look closer will find a broad opportunity set spanning asset classes and nations at different stages of AI adoption, and diversification benefits to developed-market allocations.
In this edition of ABIQ, we examine why investors’ EM allocations still trail the region’s fundamental support and portfolio potential. We explore compelling EM equity segments that lie beyond the “chips and memory” firms that dominate headlines and indices. And we assess how AI’s potential could redraw the country-opportunity map for EM debt investors.
We hope you find the insights in this quarter’s ABIQ digest informative as you survey today’s market landscape and consider where asset allocations may not yet reflect the region’s long-term possibilities.
