Smaller emerging markets at a time of high inflation

Redwheel Next Generation Emerging Markets Equity Fund

The sharp tightening of monetary policy in advanced economies has often triggered financial stress in emerging markets, witnessed in the 1980s and again in the mid-1990s. The recent tightening cycle has played out differently. In response to rising inflation, EM central banks were quicker to act. Going forward, the re-jigging of global supply chains and electrification of industries might continue to exert inflationary pressure on the developed world while Redwheel expect smaller EM to be key beneficiaries of these trends.
