    Findings from the latest Emerging Markets Investor Sentiment Survey, a semi-annual poll designed to gauge sentiment around and equity allocations to emerging markets, also show that 43 percent of respondents plan to increase their EM allocation over the next 12 months.

    The Columbia Threadneedle Investments EM Investor Sentiment Gauge is at 760 out of 1000 for this latest poll, a 21 percent increase from Q4 2016 and a 54 percent increase from Q4 2015.

    “We are once again seeing investors demonstrate a strong level of interest and a positive emerging markets outlook for the year ahead,” said Marc Zeitoun, Head of Strategic Beta at Columbia Threadneedle Investments. “Understanding the main drivers of growth in these markets continues to be a critical element for investors hoping to realize the full potential of the emerging markets in 2018 and beyond.”

    The majority (62 percent) of survey respondents say their current allocation to EM is about the same or higher than 12 months ago, with only seven percent lowering their allocation versus 15 percent of respondents at the end of 2016. Most respondents currently have either one-to-five percent (40 percent) or five-to-10 percent (31 percent) allocation in emerging markets.

    The poll also gauged sentiment on the outlook for strategic beta fixed income ETFs among investment managers and financial advisors. According to the poll, 39 percent of investors currently own passive fixed income funds that track broad-based U.S. fixed income benchmarks. Nearly one-quarter of those respondents who own a passive fixed income benchmark do not think it is appropriate for the market environment in the next 12 months, while more than one-third are unsure.
