Correct Answer:
The expectation that adding Brazilian sovereign exposure will provide a diversification benefit to his portfolio is least likely to be realized.
Emerging economies can face concentrated risk to a particular commodity or industry, and therefore investments across sovereign, bank and private sector debt could offer little or no diversification benefit.
Fitzpatrick’s views that the Brazilian economy is improving with spreads above their historical averages and expected to narrow are adequate reasons to add Brazilian sovereign debt exposure to his portfolio.
Fitzpatrick also expects that adding Brazilian sovereign bonds will provide diversification to those portfolios that are already overweight Brazilian corporate bonds. In emerging country, the correlation of corporate bonds to sovereign bonds is high. Because emerging country always mainly depends on single commodity and industry.
