EM corporate issuance double sovereign issuance
• The EM corporate bond market is increasingly relevant as issuance has been double that of sovereigns over the past few years; a natural consequence of EM sovereigns with improving credit fundamentals and less funding needs, and corporates in those countries now a compelling credit story and able to issue debt in capital markets

So what’s priced in?
Source: JP Morgan, Bloomberg, 12 April 2011
Market is expecting tightening across a range of emerging economies – in general by more than we expect
Priced interest rate moves: the market’s expected tightening from selected central banks over the next 12 months (in bp)
Generally we have seen tightening, apart from where a focus on the exchange rate has led to cuts
Note: For Thailand we have not adjusted for the policy rate to fixing spreadSource: Bloomberg, Barclays Capital, January 2011

EMD 2011 outlook: Aberdeen believes:
• Emerging market growth story is intact and inflation pressures moderating
• China growth slowing at the margin, but will remain supportive for commodity prices and EM exports
• Hard currency debt: spreads still attractive given low default risk, corporates poised to outperform
• Local currency debt: selective opportunities following curve steepening
• Policy makers likely to tolerate currency appreciation amid rising headline inflation
• Flow picture improving following big global emerging market outflows early in the year
• Risks: Rising UST yields, emerging market inflation, commodity prices, Eurozone peripherals

Aberdeen’s emerging market closed-end funds
Single Country
• Aberdeen Chile Fund, Inc. (NYSE: CH)
• Aberdeen Israel Fund, Inc. (NYSE: ISL)
• Aberdeen Indonesia Fund, Inc. (NYSE: IF)
Global
• Aberdeen Global Income Fund, Inc. (NYSE: FCO)
• Aberdeen Emerging Markets Telecommunications and Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (NYSE: ETF)
Regional
• Aberdeen Asia-Pacific Income Fund, Inc. (NYSE: FAX)
• Aberdeen Latin America Equity Fund, Inc. (NYSE: IAF)
• Primarily managed from Singapore
• Primary managed from London and Sao Paulo
Closed end funds have a one-time initial public offering and then are subsequently traded on the secondary market through one of the stock exchanges. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares may be worth more or less than the original cost. Shares of closed end funds may trade above (a premium) or below (a discount) the net asset value (NAV) of the fund’s portfolio. There is no assurance that a fund will achieve its investment objective.
Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds are not continuously offered. There is a one-time public offering, and once issued, shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount from the net asset value. The price of the Fund’s shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the Fund. Therefore, the Fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at, below or above net asset value.
The information presented, was prepared and issued by the Fund based on publicly available information, internally developed data and other sources believed to be reliable. All reasonable care has been taken to ensure accuracy. International investing entails special risk considerations, including currency fluctuations, lower liquidity, economic and political risks, and differences in accounting methods; these risks are generally heightened for emerging market investments. There are also risks associated with investing in Latin America, including the risk of investing in a single-country fund.
