● Constantly growing overseas interest in Emerging Markets assets

● Well-managed Emerging Market companies solidified their balance sheets and are gaining access to capital

EM HY Current Scenario

● EM has significantly fewer HY issuers than the US; though this clearly presents opportunities for growth in EM issuance, and also few players (EM HY Funds) competing

● Lower duration on EM HY is a mathematical consequence of the higher yield; represents an opportunity to benefit from spread compression is spreads return to their pre-Lehman levels

INVESTING IN EMERGING MARKET BONDS

OPPORTUNITY

● The Emerging Markets Debt market is dominated by Large Institutional Funds and Private Banks

● Large institutional funds also tend to focus on Emerging Markets High Grade credits due to issue size and liquidity

● Private Banks will mostly offer clients obvious Emerging Markets High Grade names which the bank supports and that the client feels comfortable with

● Lack of reach from the larger players often forces the Emerging Markets High Yield asset class to provide investors higher yields, even beyond its implicit risks
