Hedge funds dedicated to emerging-market (EM) debt are increasingly turning to risk-mitigating strategies to ensure they lock in double-digit gains as a broad rally in developing nation assets deepens.

- SELCUK GOKOLUK

After a banner first half of the year, hedge funds targeting EM debt have returned nearly 13 percent on an annual basis—more than their peers positioned in any other asset class, according to data based on Bloomberg indexes.

The latest global financial flows data shows the asset class remains thriving and the extra yield investors demand to hold the sovereign debt of developing nations over US Treasuries just hit a 15-year low. Such tight pricing, along with uncertainty over US policies and global conflicts, is pushing hedge funds to curb risks as they ride the historic rally.
