Abstract

Emerging market bonds improve the efficient frontier of a mixed-asset portfolio. The improvement is based on the application of mean-variance spanning tests on returns that are free from survivorship bias. The results indicate that emerging market bonds span a portfolio comprised of U.S. stocks, U.S. bonds, international equity, and international bonds from developed markets. Mean-variance optimizations suggest that a typical fund sponsor might consider overweighting its allocation towards emerging market bonds. <b>TOPICS:</b>Emerging markets, fixed income portfolio management, portfolio construction
