TUMBLING bond prices are doing little to dull the clamour for emerging market bonds among global investors.
Amundi Asset Management and Carmignac Gestion, together overseeing US$32 billion in funds with remits to invest anywhere in the world, have been adding developing nation notes to their portfolios since the sell-off started on Sept 8.
