Value investing also works in hard currency EM corporate credit markets

In our post last week, we showed how a value approach in Global High Yield continued to deliver, this week we show how our value approach worked in our EM Corporate Debt strategy during 2021.

A few things to note about the performance

• The value approach works in EM Corp Debt, just as it does in Global HY
• Continued outperformance in 2021 despite macro headwinds (China, Ukraine, Turkey, Chile)
• Focus on attractive opportunities, not index weight
• Invest with conviction in strong companies in out of favour countries
• We do not invest relative to an index - following an index rarely produces outperformance
• Same team and strategy for past 12 years
• Selectively invest in undervalued, low leveraged credits = higher yield/lower defaults
• In 2022 investors should remain active, unconstrained and value focused
