Emerging markets equities a 'high conviction' call for BlackRock

Singapore

EMERGING markets (EM) are the "highest conviction" equity call by Kate Moore, BlackRock Investment Institute's chief equity strategist, thanks to attractive valuations, strong macroeconomic fundamentals and earnings.

Yet, US investors remain fearful of exposure to the region, with more than half of individual investors having no exposure at all to EM equity or debt, says Ms Moore.
