Dear Reader,
Emerging Markets have recently staged a timid come-back, yet are still far off from the highs seen in early 2021 and have significantly lagged US and global markets. China and India are the heavy tankers in this domain, making up almost 50% of the EM Index. However, they’ve recently been navigating at two very different speeds.
Worries about Chinese growth, the on-going trade war between China and the US, and geopolitical tensions over Taiwan have weighed heavily on China’s performance and valuation.
Conversely, India has become the darling of EM investors. India is emerging as a dominant player with its vibrant investment environment, strong demographics, accelerating urbanization and rising affluence. Against this background, Investors may be wondering:
Please join our virtual panel discussion with experts sharing local insights and debating these topics.
We look forward to your participation.

Investing involves risk including loss of principal. Stocks may decline in value. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate, credit, liquidity, and market risks to varying degrees. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. You cannot invest directly in an index. Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. Investing in derivatives entails special risks relating to liquidity, leverage and credit that may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in US companies, including currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Emerging markets tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the markets of more mature economies, and generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. Funds investing in a single industry, country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. Performance of a fund may diverge from that of an underlying index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. There are additional risks associated with investing in high-yield bonds, aggressive growth stocks, non-diversified/concentrated funds and small- and mid-cap stocks which are more fully explained in the prospectuses, as applicable. An investment in any fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with that fund. Please read the applicable prospectus for more information.
