CHICAGO, (June 20, 2024) – Emerging Markets hedge funds gains accelerated through mid-2Q, leading industry-wide regional performance with contributions across regions as already-elevated geopolitical risk continued to rise, driven not only by ongoing and potential military conflicts, but also the volatile impact of elections throughout Europe and the US, and associated policy changes in 2H24. EM investors have continued to navigate an evolving macroeconomic landscape, with expectations for interest rate cuts in the US and European regions diverging, and as inflation continues to cast an uneven picture through mid-year.
