FROM TOP DOG TO UNDERDOG India market darling no more, trails EM peers
India has become the least favoured market among global emerging-market (GEM) investors. A note from HSBC shows that India is now the biggest underweight in GEM portfolios, with only a quarter of the funds tracked still overweight on the country. This comes as India’s neutral weight in the MSCI Emerging Markets (EMs) Index has dropped to a two-year low of 15.25 per cent after a year of steep underperformance. The underweight call means fund managers are allocating less than the benchmark 15.25 per cent to India in their EM portfolios.
