EMERGING MARKETS INVESTING

Today’s emerging markets, tomorrow’s powerhouses


A diverse opportunity set

Emerging markets are too varied to treat as a homogeneous asset class. Every country comes with its own distinct culture, idiosyncrasies, risks and opportunities and requires a different and considered approach.

At T. Rowe Price, our on-the-ground experience affords us a nuanced and selective view. We are ‘investment locals’, not tourists. Each country is our home, each opportunity our clients’ potential gain.

Economies like China, India and many others provide rich ground for long-term investors, who can no longer afford to underestimate the opportunities they offer, nor the promise they bring. Need some examples?

Trade volumes are expected to shift towards emerging markets, especially as annual consumption in emerging economies is poised to reach $30tn by 2025.1

By 2030, seven of the world’s ten largest economies by GDP will be emerging markets.2

Education standards in emerging markets are improving significantly on the back of economic growth and strong public investment.3

Pioneers in emerging markets

We have been investing in emerging markets (EM) since 1980, the infancy of the asset class. Today, we manage more than US$74 billion* in developing markets for our clients across equity, fixed income and multi-asset investment strategies.

At T. Rowe Price, the active collaboration between our equity, fixed income and ESG analysts means we have true cognitive diversity, 360-degree perspectives, and experience across EM cycles.

Our analysts are experts in their fields - with backgrounds ranging from medicine to geology - who foster long-term partnerships with companies and governments in developing markets. Our fixed income research team often offer what we call “weather forecasts” for each individual EM economy. Incorporating this top-down view is particularly useful when analysing individual companies.

Our on-the-ground experience affords us a nuanced and selective view. With 79 research professionals, from 23 nationalities speaking 23 languages, we are ‘investment locals’, not tourists. 

* Firmwide Emerging Markets Equity and Fixed Income AUM include assets managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. and its investment advisory affiliates as of 31 December 2022.

General fund risks
– to be read in conjunction with the fund specific risks (click on fund name). Capital risk – the value of your investment will vary and is not guaranteed. It will be affected by changes in the exchange rate between the base currency of the fund and the currency in which you subscribed, if different. Equity risk – in general, equities involve higher risks than bonds or money market instruments (Equity funds only). Counterparty risk – an entity with which the fund transacts may not meet its obligations to the fund (Fixed income funds only). ESG and Sustainability risk – may result in a material negative impact on the value of an investment and performance of the fund. Geographic concentration risk – to the extent that a fund invests a large portion of its assets in a particular geographic area, its performance will be more strongly affected by events within that area. Hedging risk – a Fund’s attempts to reduce or eliminate certain risks through hedging may not work as intended. Investment fund risk – investing in funds involves certain risks an investor would not face if investing in markets directly. Management risk – the investment manager or its designees may at times find their obligations to a fund to be in conflict with their obligations to other investment portfolios they manage (although in such cases, all portfolios will be dealt with equitably). Operational risk – operational failures could lead to disruptions of fund operations or financial losses.
