EM bonds to return 7% for 2017: BOS

Singapore

EMERGING market bonds will continue to perform and investors should stay invested as interest rate hikes will be modest and default rates likely to remain benign, said Todd Schubert, Bank of Singapore head of fixed income research.

Returns for the full year of 2017 for emerging market bonds are heading for 7 per cent, said Mr Schubert in a recent interview.
