and Equity Markets in 2013

Summary
After slowing in 2012, growth in emerging markets is expected to accelerate to 5.4% in
2013, more than four times the estimate for developed markets
The outlook varies significantly by region with Asia, led by China and India, expected to
grow 6.6% and Central Europe 2%
Monetary policy in emerging markets remains accommodative and emerging markets
retain policy flexibility. However, economic activity in emerging markets is closely linked
to global trade, commodity prices, and financial conditions. A disorderly default/financial
crisis in the Eurozone will inevitably impact emerging markets.
Risks to global economic activity remain to the downside, but QE3 and OMTs have
placed a support on asset prices
At roughly 10 times 12 month earnings current emerging market valuations are not
demanding. Assuming a ten year average forward p/e of 10.7 current valuations
anticipate a further 7% in 2013 EM earnings downgrades. Flows to emerging assets of
all kinds are likely to accelerate and investors should continue to reduce the home bias.

Conclusion
The global recovery remains substandard and several risks remain: Europe, US fiscal
cliff, China policy mistake and Iran
Emerging economies remain closely linked to the global economy, but are increasingly
resilient. They are expected to grow 5.4% in 2013, but risks are to the downside.
The Great Recession has enhanced the secular case for investing in emerging markets
Valuations in emerging markets are not demanding by historic norms, but earnings
estimates are being revised downwards
