Summary

BlackRock Emerging Markets has a relatively new lead manager and a downsized investment team with continued turnover. While the investment approach is sensible, its recent pivot to rely on bottom-up stock selection raises the bar for research depth and quality, in which current team dynamics give us pause. We reiterate the strategy’s People and Process pillars at Average.
