A stuttering start to 2016 off the back of the first U.S. rates rise in several years presented fresh opportunities to emerging market currency and debt investors, keen to make tactical gains and re-set strategic plans. However, with the full impact of the rate rise not fully borne out in EM pricing and liquidity levels, asset owners are needing to keep an eye on new risks that are still to emerge.

The fifth annual Investing in Emerging Market Currencies & Debt, Europe 2016 report brings together pension schemes, sovereign wealth funds, asset managers and hedge funds to address the key issues and concerns associated with investing in emerging market currencies and how to better understand their volatile nature.
