EM equities faced many challenges in 2018, including tightening U.S. monetary policy, the U.S.-China trade conflict, geopolitical tensions, and financial crises in Argentina and Turkey.

In our view, fundamentally focused, long-term investors have an opportunity to take advantage of irrational market behavior during periods of such undervaluation.
