Russell Frontier & Emerging Markets Indexes: Vietnam, Pakistan, Egypt & Turkey Strong Performers Year-to-Date as of April 30th
Within the Russell Frontier Index, after 2011 when all but one country constituent had negative performance, 75% of countries had positive performance year-to-date as of April 30, with Vietnam, Pakistan and Kenya leading.
Within the Russell Emerging Markets Index, after 2011 when more than 85% of country constituents had negative performance, more than 90% of countries had positive performance year-to-date as of April 30, with Egypt, Turkey and Thailand leading.
“The positive returns we‘ve witnessed this year across many of the emerging and frontier markets is a marked change from last year,” said Sarah Lien, Senior Research Analyst for Russell Investments. “Vietnam, for instance, was one of 2011’s worst performers but has rebounded very strongly year-to-date. Egypt and Turkey have also posted strong returns in 2012 after geo-political concerns appear to have weighed on these stock markets last year.”
