Fixed Income
Third Quarter 2013 Index Returns

Bond investors got a bit of good
news this quarter as the US Federal
Reserve continued the pace of bond
buying in the latest quantitative
easing program. This was a far cry
from the news last quarter, when the
Fed announced it would begin to
taper the purchase of government
bonds with a view to end the most
recent round of quantitative easing
by mid-2014. The market reacted by
taking 10-year bond yields from a
two-year high of 3.00% to a close
of 2.61%.

Riding the Emerging Markets Tiger
Third Quarter 2013

Many investors fell for emerging markets in
recent years when they delivered sizeable
returns. More recently, the associated risk
has reasserted itself and the infatuation has

faded. What's the right approach?
A major theme in media commentary since the turn
of the century has been the prospect of a gradual
passing of the baton in global economic leadership
from the world’s most industrialized nations to the
emerging economies.
Anticipating this change, investors have sought
greater exposure to these changing economic forces
by including in their portfolios an allocation to some
of the emerging powerhouses such as China, India,
and Brazil.
These markets historically have provided higher
average returns than developed markets.
But the flipside of these returns is that emerging
markets also tend to be riskier and more volatile.
This is reflected in their higher standard deviation
of returns, which is one measure of risk.

The risk associated with emerging markets has
reasserted itself in recent months. Expectations that
the US Federal Reserve will “taper” its monetary
stimulus have led to a retreat by many investors
from these developing markets.

In its latest economic assessment released in
September, the Organization of Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD) noted that
while advanced economies were growing again,
some emerging economies were slowing.1
Naturally, many investors will be feeling anxious
about these developments and wondering whether
emerging markets still have a place in their
portfolios. There are number of points to make in
response to these concerns.
First, this information is in the price. Markets reflect
concerns about the impact of the Fed’s tapering on
capital flows. Changing a portfolio allocation based
on past events is tantamount to closing the stable
door after the horse has bolted.
Second, just as rich economies and markets
like the US, Japan, Britain, and Australia tend to
perform differently from one another, emerging
economies and markets tend to perform differently
from rich ones.

This just means that irrespective of short-term
performance, emerging markets offer the benefit of
added diversification. And we know that historically,
diversification across securities, sectors, industries,
and countries has been a good source of risk
management for a portfolio.
Third, emerging markets perform differently from
one another, and it is extremely difficult to predict
with any consistency which countries will perform
best and worst from year to year. That’s why
concentrated bets are not advised. Fourth, in judging
your exposure to emerging markets, it is important to
distinguish between a country’s economic footprint
and the size of its market. Combined, emerging
markets make up only 11% of the total world market.
This is not to downplay the importance of emerging
markets. The global economy is changing, and the
internationalization of emerging markets in recent
decades has allowed investors to invest their capital
more broadly. Emerging markets are part of that.
We know that risk and return are related, so getting
out of emerging markets or reducing one’s exposure
to them after stock prices have dropped means
forgoing the increased expected return potential.
A bumpy ride on this tiger is not unexpected. But for
those adequately diversified with an asset allocation
set for their needs and risk appetites, it is worth
holding on.

  • 14. Riding the Emerging Markets Tiger Third Quarter 2013 Many investors fell for emerging markets in recent years when they delivered sizeable returns. More recently, the associated risk has reasserted itself and the infatuation has faded. What's the right approach? A major theme in media commentary since the turn of the century has been the prospect of a gradual passing of the baton in global economic leadership from the world’s most industrialized nations to the emerging economies. Anticipating this change, investors have sought greater exposure to these changing economic forces by including in their portfolios an allocation to some of the emerging powerhouses such as China, India, and Brazil. These markets historically have provided higher average returns than developed markets. But the flipside of these returns is that emerging markets also tend to be riskier and more volatile. This is reflected in their higher standard deviation of returns, which is one measure of risk. The risk associated with emerging markets has reasserted itself in recent months. Expectations that the US Federal Reserve will “taper” its monetary stimulus have led to a retreat by many investors from these developing markets. In its latest economic assessment released in September, the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) noted that while advanced economies were growing again, some emerging economies were slowing.1 Naturally, many investors will be feeling anxious about these developments and wondering whether emerging markets still have a place in their portfolios. There are number of points to make in response to these concerns. First, this information is in the price. Markets reflect concerns about the impact of the Fed’s tapering on capital flows. Changing a portfolio allocation based on past events is tantamount to closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. Second, just as rich economies and markets like the US, Japan, Britain, and Australia tend to perform differently from one another, emerging economies and markets tend to perform differently from rich ones. This just means that irrespective of short-term performance, emerging markets offer the benefit of added diversification. And we know that historically, diversification across securities, sectors, industries, and countries has been a good source of risk management for a portfolio. Third, emerging markets perform differently from one another, and it is extremely difficult to predict with any consistency which countries will perform best and worst from year to year. That’s why concentrated bets are not advised. Fourth, in judging your exposure to emerging markets, it is important to distinguish between a country’s economic footprint and the size of its market. Combined, emerging markets make up only 11% of the total world market. This is not to downplay the importance of emerging markets. The global economy is changing, and the internationalization of emerging markets in recent decades has allowed investors to invest their capital more broadly. Emerging markets are part of that. We know that risk and return are related, so getting out of emerging markets or reducing one’s exposure to them after stock prices have dropped means forgoing the increased expected return potential. A bumpy ride on this tiger is not unexpected. But for those adequately diversified with an asset allocation set for their needs and risk appetites, it is worth holding on. 1."Interim Economic Assessment," OECD, September 3, 2013 Adapted from “Riding the Emerging Markets Tiger” by Jim Parker, Outside the Flags column on Dimensional’s website, September 2013.
