Emerging Market Debt : Decoding the new risk paradigm

Emerging market debt is entering a new risk paradigm, shaped by shifting DM v EM dynamics, geopolitical uncertainty, currency volatility and evolving fiscal dynamics. While the asset class continues to offer attractive income potential, investors are having to be increasingly selective as risks and opportunities vary significantly across regions, countries and issuers.

In this short interview, we welcome Thomas Christiansen, UBP’s Head of Emerging Markets Fixed Income. We cover:

  • How Emerging Markets economies have instigated robust monetary policies, controlling inflation
  • The diversity of the asset class from Local, to Hard and corporate instruments
  • The attractions of EM frontier market debt
