Emerging market debt
Innovation born of experience
Thirty years of investing in emerging market debt
We’ve been investing in emerging market debt (EMD) for over 30 years. During this time, we’ve built a highly experienced team of nearly 50 fixed income professionals dedicated to EMD*.
With offices in London and Asia, the team has on-the-ground resources and expertise to deliver first-hand insights across bond markets, sectors, issuers, and the full credit spectrum.

Seeking to drive positive change
We analyse environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities in every company and sovereign we cover. On-desk regional ESG specialists, supported by Aberdeen Investments’ central ESG team, provide insight on ESG themes and sectors within local markets. We believe this helps us to deliver emerging market solutions that target long-term positive outcomes for investors.
We’ve also created the Aberdeen Asia-Pacific Sustainability Institute – a centre of excellence and innovation dedicated to all aspects of sustainable investing.
Offering compelling investment opportunities
We have considerable local expertise across emerging markets. This includes a team of Mandarin-speaking investment professionals dedicated to China. This gives us an invaluable window into this vital market.
We also have experience investing in fast-growing frontier markets, at both the corporate and sovereign level. This combination means we can put our clients at the heart of some of the most compelling opportunities EMD has to offer.
