Risk premium and the world's emerging markets | GulfNews.com:

"To say it’s been a rough ride for the emerging equity markets this year would be an understatement of sorts.
Since the start of 2013, investors investing across the group of 21 countries, which fall under the umbrella of MSCI Emerging Markets Index, have lost close to 10 per cent. By contrast the S&P 500 and the UK’s FTSE All Share Index are up 15.6 per cent and 10.9 per cent respectively.
Large outflows witnessed in the first four weeks of June—a record $19.8 billion dedicated to emerging market equity funds, according to Boston-based global data tracker EPFR—after the US Federal Reserve hinted at slowing down its stimulus programme starting later this year added to the investors’ woes. This figure surpassed the $18.7 billion monthly outflow seen in January 2008."
