In a world with low growth, low returns and higher debt levels, emerging markets potentially offer high growth, high returns and have less debt. They are fast becoming a driver of global growth and represent one of the fastest growing economies with young populations and the largest potential consumer market in the world, with early signs of the rotation already starting from Developed to Emerging Markets.
