Absolute versus long only
What Insight believes
• Not all countries are improving at the same time, at the same rate
• Being structurally long risk in EM local rates makes little sense if real rates are negative
• Flexibility to determine the best risk/reward between external debt and local currency debt, is essential
• Active currency management is better than no management
• Timing of allocation is a key driver for long only strategies, that is significantly reduced for Absolute strategies
• Risk management is a central driver of portfolio construction

• Sub-asset allocation: local/external/currency?

Outlook for 2013Behaviour will not be uniform across all asset classes
• Wide dispersion in performance, search for yield to continue (further compression from sub IG names)
• Developed markets want to depreciate versus EM currencies, and by implication reduce EM current account surpluses
• EM policy mix becomes more unorthodox to prevent excessive capital inflows, protect against higher inflation, and insulate consumers/ companies from currency volatility
• Bank deleveraging means more bond issuance, which at present is met by supportive QE environment
• Policy effectiveness, or lack thereof, has increasing political implications

Absolute Insight Emerging Market Debt FundAims to capture some upside, protect downside
• Portfolio construction of longs and shorts can lower volatility, and reduce “allocation timing risk”
• “Best ideas” approach (not influenced by benchmark exposures and weightings)
• Risk aversion episodes offer large opportunities for those with cash
How is it done?
• Derivatives allow hedging and/or outright short positions
• Flat position, when appropriate
• Manage risk closely
