Emerging markets are increasingly diffcult to ignore. Equities in emerging countries currently account for 11% of the world’s market capitalization, up from 3% in 1993. Naturally, many investors see emerging markets as a way to expand the opportunity set and broaden diversifcation.

This paper attempts to alleviate these concerns. You'll learn how our multifactor solutions in emerging markets have captured the size, value, and profitability premiums and added value over their benchmarks.
