      • Trading Viewpoints: Turkish Twist

        Our embedded traders work alongside portfolio managers and analysts to constantly assess market structures, liquidity and execution. These functions seek to help enable operational alpha by reducing risks, minimizing transaction costs and taking advantage of price differentials.

        The rise of electronic trading in liquid foreign exchange (FX) markets has delivered significant advantages to asset managers, with enhanced price transparency being one of the most notable. Greater transparency helps improve price discovery, enabling more accurate measurement of transaction costs and allowing asset managers to better attribute those costs to specific market events. A recent example of this is the detention of a prominent political opposition leader in Turkey on March 19, 2025, which triggered volatility in the Turkish lira. This event serves as a timely case study of how political shocks can impact transaction costs in the FX market.

      • When the Music Stops at the High Yield Party

        05 March 2025   |  

        In a world where uncertainty outweighs certainty, EM credit spreads have defied expectations, grinding tighter despite persistent macro risks. Since mid-2022, spreads have steadily narrowed, recently reaching their tightest levels since February 2020—just weeks before the global COVID-19 sell-off. While EM debt benchmarks have ridden the wave of broad credit spread tightening, their market-cap-weighted methodology has resulted in a significant allocation to low-spread securities, leaving the benchmarks with one foot in and one foot out of the party.
