The rising risk of a global recession has caused a flight to safety among investors, with emerging markets being one of the favored destinations for shelter.
Emerging markets offer investors access to strong economic growth and financial stability, at a time when the US stock markets may experience sharp declines as economic uncertainty and financial market volatility increase. The advantages that emerging markets offer include higher returns, diversification benefits, a less volatile currency, and a more attractive risk/reward profile.
Emerging markets also offer access to higher quality, innovative companies, particularly those in the technology sector. Furthermore, with economies opening up to foreign investors, emerging markets provide increased access to attractive investment opportunities. With investors seeking increased stability and higher returns, emerging markets stand to benefit from this trend.
