Sovereign Debt Back in Focus - 28 de mayo de 2026 - TecnoWebinars.com

Sovereign debt has evolved over the past decade, across both emerging (EM) and developed markets (DM). EM debt has historically been viewed as a niche or opportunistic allocation. That perception has evolved as the market has matured into a broader and more liquid asset class, supported by deep local markets, strong fundamentals and more mature market structures. Across developed markets, where yields sat near zero only a few years ago, opportunities have become more compelling. At the same time, risks have increased as ratings agencies and market participants have challenged the definition of the “risk free rate.” As the distinction between emerging and developed markets has blurred into more of a continuum, investors are reassessing the importance of a diversified portfolio with selective exposure across both markets. Heightened geopolitical uncertainty and commodity-driven volatility underscore the importance of selectivity and active risk management. Join Cem Karacadag and Brian Mangwiro as they discuss how the EM and DM sovereign debt opportunity sets have evolved, where risks and opportunities are most compelling today and how investors are allocating across markets. Themes: - The need for a nuanced understanding of EM and DM sovereign debt markets: Many EM local currency markets are now predominantly investment grade, supported by stronger domestic institutions and improved liquidity. Meanwhile, many DM regions face challenges that require more vigilant risk management than in the past. - Evolving diversification benefits: Risk dynamics have converged between EM and DM, enhancing the role of EM debt alongside traditional fixed income. - Valuations and selectivity: Elevated real yields in local currency debt, alongside improving fundamentals in parts of hard currency markets, are creating selective opportunities for active investors—particularly amid widening dispersion driven by geopolitics, commodities and fiscal positioning.
