Cross Asset Strategy

In this report, we screen for stocks that are largely avoided by global emerging market active funds. We identify companies within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index that are held underweight by EM active funds and by less than 3% of the active fund population.To test whether avoiding these stocks has been a good strategy, we create an 'EM Unloved' portfolio that contains all the stocks from the screen, rebalanced monthly and back-tested over the last 7 years.The results show a significant underperformance of EM Unloved stocks against the benchmark MSCI EM Index, and avoiding these stocks has clearly played a part in the long-term outperformance of EM active funds against the benchmark.  With an average of 26% of the MSCI EM index largely avoided by active EM investors, it questions the logic of broad-based index strategies when it comes to emerging market exposure.
