Why Emerging Markets Debt Blended Total Return?

 

Firm-Wide Emerging Markets Debt (EMD) Expertise & Assets

Firm-wide Loomis Sayles manages +$19B in Emerging Market Debt assets

Underpinned by a deep commitment to fundamental, research-driven credit analysis leveraging Loomis Sayles’ 90+ years history in sovereign and corporate credit research (70+ analysts).

A Focused Approach to Total Return EMD

A tactical approach to EMD investing, focused on optimizing exposures across external sovereign, local sovereign and corporate debt markets (including frontier).

The investment team does not manage any other emerging market debt strategies, bringing a singular focus to this product.

A Highly Differentiated Investment Process

Incorporating a proprietary top-down regime identification framework that helps drive asset allocation.

The strategy is dynamically managed across region, quality and industry; quantitative and fundamental research methods support every investment decision.

Our Philosophy

We believe blended emerging market debt allocations can allow for differentiated return streams with typically lower volatility than single asset class emerging market exposures, helping to improve risk-adjusted return potential over a full market cycle.

At a Glance

  • We access the broad opportunity set of liquid emerging market debt, comprising of over 80 countries and over 2,000 instruments debt
  • Our expansive opportunity set allows the maximum scope that helps to generate attractive returns and also protect capital
  • We believe active asset allocation is critical to seeking alpha
