Indirect Exposure: Russell Developed Europe Large Cap EM GeoExposure Index YTD Performance Reflects an Alternative Way for European Investors to Gain Exposure to Emerging Markets
(firmenpresse) - SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/18/13 -- The is down (-5.9%) year-to-date as of July 16th amid growing political instability in various emerging market countries and further indications of slowing growth in China.
Comparing this performance to the Russell Developed Europe Large Cap EM Geographic Exposure ("GeoExposure") Index, which is designed to track the performance of European companies with significant exposure to targeted emerging markets, helps underscore how an indirect approach to gaining emerging markets exposure may be beneficial in today's volatile markets. The GeoExposure Index has exhibited higher returns than the Russell Emerging Markets Index year-to-date while providing exposure to European companies which derive a significant portion of their revenue from emerging markets.
"The Russell GeoExposure Indexes offer multi-asset investors a new strategy for tapping into emerging markets' economic growth, reflecting the performance of companies domiciled in developed Europe which may be well positioned for such participation," said Tom Goodwin, Ph.D. and Senior Research Director with Russell Indexes. "With increasing globalization, European companies will continue to operate across several different regions and countries as they seek to benefit from economic growth in regions outside their home countries. Geographic exposure provides a new way to disentangle the country and regional exposures of multinational companies, by providing a new set of tools for multi-asset portfolio analysis, benchmarking and asset allocation."
