Ways to think about GEM allocations

In the second episode of our podcast series on Emerging Markets and Asian equities, we will be discussing why investors should think about how to allocate to Global Emerging Markets (GEM) given the dominance of China in the GEM universe.

In the early 2000s, China was just 5% of a GEM index then. Today, China’s weighting in that index exceeds 35%. The sheer size of China’s weight has a crowding out effect on the rest of the countries in that index. In this podcast, we discuss what a GEM-ex China portfolio might look like as well as the investment opportunities in the GEM x China universe as economies recover from the pandemic.

Is there a strong investment case for GEM x China and how does the universe change when compared to the broader GEM exposure?
Where are you seeing investment opportunities in the GEM x China universe and given the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic?
What are the challenges of investing in the GEM ex-China countries – liquidity, transparency, diversity of opportunities?
The value leadership appears to be continuing in 2022, what’s the potential for the further realisation of value opportunities in GEM?
COVID travel restrictions have no doubt affected a fund manager’s ability to visit the companies, as a bottom-up stock picker, how to navigate this challenge?
