Emerging markets offer US funds significantly safer investment opportunities than some G7 countries, according to new research from risk analysis firm RiskMetrics.
The company’s RiskGrades measure the volatility rather than the returns of groups of assets and they show that German and UK assets are significantly more volatile than investments in such countries as China, Argentina and Egypt.
These findings could be especially useful for the small but growing number of fund managers that seek a particular level of risk in their investments – a process common with the sell side that is known as risk budgeting.
