3 1. Introduction Emerging financial markets Several definitions Importance of emerging capital markets No clear guidelines for valuation of assets & securities in emerging markets Different from developed markets: transparency, governance, liquidity, volatility, transaction costs, etc. Increasing investment flows to emerging markets Faster rate of economic growth 2

Definition of Emerging Markets Tier of economies below developed economies S&P/IFC indices Emerging markets should meet one of the following two criteria Low-, lower-middle, or upper-middle income economy as defined by World Bank (World Bank s main classification criterion GNI per capita) Low investable market capitalisation relative to most recent GDP figures 3

5 2. Definition of Emerging Markets S&P/IFC indices Developed markets should meet both of the following conditions GNI per capita exceeds the World Bank s upper-middle income threshold for at least three consecutive years Investable market capitalization to GDP in the top 25 percent of the emerging market universe for three consecutive years S&P/IFC indices use other criteria to categorise countries into developed, emerging, frontier & unclassified markets 4

6 3. About the indices S&P Global BMI covers approximately 10,000 companies in 45 countries MSCI ACWI IMI covers over 9,000 securities in 45 countries In both cases all 45 countries are classified as either developed or emerging 5

21 4. Characteristics of Emerging Markets Two important characteristics when valuing assets in EMs Information available about the investment Risk of the investment relative to global markets Size, transparency & liquidity of a market have important implications for state & accessibility of relevant data The quality & amount of available information also varies among emerging countries 20

22 Macroeconomic Characteristics EMs have higher levels of income & financial market depth than FMs; but EMs have lower GDP per capita & lower investable market cap than DMs Difference between EMs & DMs much greater than between FMs & EMs EMs fall just below DMs most are upper-middle income countries (World Bank) & ratio of market cap to GDP is at upper end of economies outside developed world 21

23 Macroeconomic Characteristics (Nominal GDP per Capita for EMs & DMs) CAGR* EM Asia 1,407 2,659 3,743 3,549 5, % EM Latam 2,203 3,325 4,623 3,426 6, % EM Emea 3,069 3,375 4,613 4,848 9, % Emerging Markets 2,226 3,120 4,327 3,941 7, % Europe 13,872 22,084 23,035 23,840 40, % Developed Markets 13,685 19,983 25,149 24,507 35, % 22

24 Macroeconomic Characteristics (Real GDP Growth Rates for EMs & DMs) EM Asia 6.10% 7.00% 6.70% 3.40% 6.30% EM Latam 2.40% 2.30% 4.50% 0.70% 5.60% EM EMEA 3.3% 1.0% 2.9% 3.4% 5.3% Emerging Markets 4.1% 3.6% 4.7% 2.7% 5.8% Europe 2.4% 2.6% 2.6% 3.0% 2.6% Developed Markets 3.1% 2.8% 3.1% 3.0% 3.0% 23

25 Measures of Market Size (Relative market capitalization) EMs highest average market cap relative to FMs No clear pattern between EMs & DMs Clear distinction between FMs & EMs 24

26 Measures of Market Size (No. listed companies & company market cap) 25

27 Measures of Market Size (Openness of a market to foreign investment) S&P/IFCI index tries to capture global exposure of a market stocks legally & practically available to foreign investors Most common restrictions include Special classes of shares for foreign owners Sector ownership restrictions Limits on ownership by a single foreign investor Company ownership limits different from national law National limits on aggregate foreign ownership 26

28 Market Liquidity Tendency towards illiquidity factor that differentiates EMs from DMs Major consideration for investors in EMs liquidity of their financial positions Liquidity ability to get in & out of investments quickly & at low cost 27
