Emerging Markets
For wealth managers
Parametric's Emerging Markets Strategy is a systematic, rules-based investment process that gives clients access to the long-term growth potential of emerging markets with less volatility than indexes typically exhibit. Designed as a core holding, Emerging Markets emphasizes diversification and relies on a disciplined rebalancing approach.
Traditionally, emerging market indexes tend to have concentrated country allocation, with 75% of holdings in just five countries. Emerging Markets avoids the concentrated security- and country-level exposures that are inherent to other emerging market strategies using our equal-weight methodology. We seek to outperform the MSCI Emerging Markets Index over a full market cycle.
The investment strategy described herein is designed to be implemented in a separately managed account (SMA) maintained by a qualified custodian. Investors should contact their financial advisor to establish an SMA. Parametric currently serves as a subadvisor to investment products offered and distributed by its affiliate, Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc., a registered broker-dealer. Parametric subadvises a fund with a strategy similar to the one presented herein. Learn more.
