Jo Akumba’s portfolio is invested in a range of developed markets fixed income securities. She asks her adviser about the possibility of diversifying her investments to include emerging and frontier markets government and corporate fixed income securities. Her adviser makes the following comment regarding risk:
“All emerging and frontier market fixed income securities pose economic, political and legal risk. Economic risks arise from the fact that emerging market countries have poor fiscal discipline, rely on foreign borrowing, have less diverse tax base and significant dependence on specific industries. They are susceptible to capital flight. Their ability to pay is limited. In addition, weak property rights, weak enforcement of contract laws and political instability pose hazard for emerging markets debt investors.”

Correct Answer:
The statement
correctly identifies economic, political and legal risk. The adviser has
correctly identified some of the characteristics typically associated with
emerging and frontier markets that may affect their governments’ and corporate
borrowers’ ability and willingness to pay bondholders. However, the assertion
that all emerging and frontier market fixed income securities pose such risk is
incorrect, as many countries classified as “emerging” are considered to be
healthy and prosperous economies.
