Politics Could Matter To Emerging-Market Investors This Year

in Fund Discussions
FYI: All politics may be local, but investors around the world still need to care about them.

There are high-stakes elections on the calendar this year beyond the midterm elections for the United States, including several across emerging markets, stretching from South America to Asia. Regardless of how the results pan out, emerging-market stock and bond funds may swing widely in the interim following their stellar and nearly uniformly upward ride in 2017.
Regards,
Ted

    It matters in emerging markets every year. Their economies are more fragile and top down macro understanding of them matters more.
