Mexican allocations continue to surge higher
Over the past 6 months there has been some aggressive country repositioning among active EM managers - Mexico is now the largest country overweight position (vs. the benchmark iShares MSCI EM ETF). Despite this sentiment shift, Steven Holden says allocations look far from stretched (avg. weights among active EM funds: 3.4% today vs. nearly 5% in 2015). On a Style basis, Yield managers have increased weights the most. On a stock level, Grupo Financiero Banorte and Wal-Mart de Mexico have been instrumental in Mexico’s rise up the ranks.
