The opportunity set for emerging market (EM) equities has changed dramatically over the past three and a half decades – geographically, at a sector level, and in terms of market capitalization. But even as the composition and characteristics of EM evolve, we believe one thing remains consistent: EM equities continue to offer investors the opportunity to add value to their portfolios.

In this paper, Altaf Kassam and Kamal Gupta outline the key points to consider and practical steps for creating an effective emerging market equity portfolio.
