Emerging market debt ((EMD)) has rallied sharply this year, bouncing back from a tough 2018. Is now a good time to add exposure? We would be buyers on any material sell-offs, as we see fundamentals remaining supportive in coming quarters. Our overall view on emerging markets (EMs) favors equities over debt, yet we believe EMD offers attractive income for bond portfolios.
