EM sell-off: what about the frontier? | beyondbrics

"In all the general sell-off carnage of the last few days, EM investors might be forgiven for thinking, “what about the frontier?”

Whether you look at the week, the sell-off since late May, or even year-to-date, frontier markets have outperformed emerging markets. Why?

Since May 22, when the MSCI emerging markets index hit its recent peak and began to fall, the EM index has fallen over 13 per cent. The MSCI Frontier index has fallen, but by a more modest 8 per cent."
