Analyst Pin-board Comparing frontier and emerging equity markets

Assets under management in the so-called “frontier” asset class have collapsed to only about USD 5bn currently, after peaking at around USD 50bn in 2014. This collapse in assets under management, with many frontier funds now being closed, has coincided with a collapse in valuations which is why it makes sense for those with a long-term view to invest today in tomorrow’s emerging markets. The total size of the emerging market asset class is, by contrast, over USD 4 trillion. As for performance (Figures 1 and 2), the MSCI Frontier Markets Index has declined by 23% in USD terms since January 2020 while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is down 13%. The Frontier Index was launched in December 2007 and has since fallen by 53% in USD terms, compared with a 15% decline in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.
