23 Adjusting to Maturity of Emerging Markets We expect the top tier of EM FX to behave pretty much like G10 currencies during the next global recession This group of EM currencies have as strong or stronger country fundamentals than some G10 countries; Liquidity premiums associated with EM currencies are also expected to be limited for select EM currencies True liquidity in the FX market is associated with 24-hour liquidity, in which case some EM currencies are as liquid as SEK or NOK Source: Mark Farrington, Principal Global Investors

24 Select EM FX Convergence on G10 Norms Emerging market (EM) countries have converged on a range of G10 fundamental norms such as: Inflation rates; Level of interest rates; Policy credibility; Debt and debt service levels; Depth and stability of banking sector and capital markets. Countries that stand out as having G10-like characteristics across all categories include: Chile, Czech Republic, Korea, Mexico, Poland and Taiwan Source: Mark Farrington, Principal Global Investors

35 A Maturing Asset Class Since the late 1990s, there have been substantial micro and macroeconomic advances Structural reforms in emerging markets have provided a more stable investing environment Foreign exchange-denominated debt reduction from 90% of GDP to 10% (EM aggregate) Improved fiscal balances to a slight deficit of 0.3% of GDP last year for all emerging markets Greater transparency at both the government and corporate level as emerging market countries move to US GAAP or European IAC standards Big improvements in Big Emerging Markets Reduced systemic risk Sovereign ratings upgrades, e.g: Brazil, China, India Minimized contagion effect Diversification benefit of Emerging Markets remain, despite higher correlations with developed markets Source: Steven A.

43 Why Use Index Funds in Less Efficient Asset Classes? Being There Ensure allocation consistent with strategic policy Being There - Efficient way to achieve asset and style diversification Allocation explains 95.6% of variability (Brinson, Beebower & Hood, 1995) Including style, allocation explains 95% of variability (Sharpe, 1988) Cost effective (at least 1% cheaper than active emerging markets strategies) Commissions Bid/ask spreads Management fees Custody costs Securities lending Difficult to consistently select outperforming managers Arithmetic of Active Management (Sharpe, 1991) Survivorship bias Managing change in dynamic asset classes Within Emerging Market Universe Within International Equity asset class Source: Steven A.

45 Challenges for Active Emerging Market Managers Transaction costs and high turnover are deadweight costs for active managers to overcome Commissions Bid-ask spread Market impact Benchmark methodology improvement Fewer outlier opportunities outside the benchmark as indexes have evolved to reflect changes in asset class Growth of assets under management Propensity toward more benchmark sensitivity Capacity Constraints Managers protect existing performance by closing funds to additional investors Increasingly difficult and costly to invest new funds without market impact Improved data/information quality Information advantage has eroded Source: Steven A.

50 What Matters Most? Factors to consider when incorporating Emerging Markets into a global portfolio Efficient Beta How do you achieve it? Index vs. Active in Emerging Markets Is there a role for both? Do the management fees for active management erode the beta and alpha? Are you paying too much for beta exposure? Does the limited capacity of top managers diminish the value of historical peer universes? The importance of being there Allocation Source: Steven A. Schoenfeld, Northern Trust

51 Indexing Can Complement Other Emerging Market Strategies The overriding importance of being there EM Hedge Fund Regional Strategies Traditional active stock selection Long/short or market neutral Style Tilt (e.g.- Deep Value ) Core Emerging Market Index Strategy Private Equity Structured/ country selection Source: Steven A. Schoenfeld, Northern Trust

52 Topics for Discussion Emerging Markets remain a compelling asset class. Core exposure is warranted The index vs. active debate should be over even in emerging markets. Index-based exposure is efficient exposure Sophisticated investors can use a blend of index and higher-risk active strategies to custom tailor their risk exposure. Emerging Markets are evolving and will look very different in Use of a core broader and deeper international/global benchmark might solve both capacity and asset class evolution issues.

53 Real GDP Growth Africa recorded positive economic growth in the last five years with the highest growth of 5.7% recorded in In 2006, economic growth moderated from 5.6 percent to 4.8 percent. The impact of persistently high petroleum prices has been mitigated in many countries by rising export prices of non fuel commodities ( see Table 1 and Chart 1) The Zambian economy grew faster than other countries in Sub- Sahara Africa in 2006 Source: Dr. Caleb Fundanga, Bank of Zambia

56 Inflation Inflation in sub-saharan Africa, dropped from 12.5 percent in 2002 to 12.0 percent in In 2005, inflation increased to 10.8 percent from 9.6 percent in 2004 due to food scarcity and higher petroleum prices. Inflation in oil exporting countries has been above the SSA average reflecting the difficulties some of these countries, especially Angola and Nigeria, have had in sterilising inflows of oil revenues. Source: Dr. Caleb Fundanga, Bank of Zambia

57 Inflation The inflationary impact of high oil prices has been subdued by prudent macroeconomic policy. Over the last 10 years, SSA countries have substantially reduced dependence on bank financing with the overall fiscal balance improving from a deficit of 4.0 percent of GDP in the 1990s to a surplus of 1.0 percent of GDP in In 2006, Zambia recorded lower inflation than other countries in Sub Sahara Africa.

59 Exports and Imports of Goods and Services SSA has continued to benefit from a favourable external environment as a result of increased Import demand from advanced economies. With the continued rise in oils and other commodity prices, exporters of both oil and non-fuel commodities experienced an improvement in the terms of trade (see Table 3). In Zambia, the terms of trade improved even more due to high copper prices. Exports and imports of goods and services as a fraction of GDP increased from 32.4 percent and 32.8 percent respectively in 2002 to 41.3 percent and 36.9 percent respectively in 2006 (see Table 4) Source: Dr. Caleb Fundanga, Bank of Zambia
