By Steve Weeple, Client Portfolio Manager, Global and Emerging Market Equity, Janus Henderson Investors

While many of the headlines around the EM Equity asset class focus on volatile geopolitics, corporate governance concerns, and lagging relative performance, experts at Janus Henderson see an exciting driver of future investment returns that is being lost amongst this noise. Across the Emerging Markets there is an explosion in innovation and a shift from laggard to leader in developing innovative, and EM-centric, business models. What is also exciting is how many of these businesses are specifically addressing the environmental and social frictions that exist across the EMs. Steve Weeple, CPM on the firm's Emerging Market Equity strategy, will dig deeper into what is driving this new pillar of economic returns, and how investors can access them.
