As emerging markets investing has grown more commonplace, some investors are seeking the next emergent asset class in pursuit of potentially higher returns and greater diversification. This trend is evidenced by growing interest in frontier markets and a significant rise in active and passive equity flows into frontier markets funds. With attention now building for frontier markets, this paper considers the investment case for frontier market equities.
Defined benefit plans have experienced a wild ride in pension funding levels since 2008. For many plan sponsors, the volatility in funded status, cash contributions and pension expenses - as well as the need for yield to support beneficiary obligations - represent significant challenges taht are likely to persist. Given the outlook for coninued low interest rates, below-trend ecomonic growth and potentially lower investment returns, the demand for attractive, regular income is high. We believe that the narrowing of the gap between dividend and bond yields makes a strong case for including stocks with above-average yield, the prospect for growing dividends and lower market beta as part of an overall strategy for de-risking portfolios without de-railing potential return.

*FEATURED VIDEOS IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE NOTES

**Important note regarding the first slide appearing in this clip: On a total return basis, the S&P Goldman Sachs Commodity Index (S&PGSCI) has returned 9.5% per year since 1970, basically in line with the 9.8% return of the S&P 500 Index for the period 1/30/70 – 8/31/10. These returns are annualized. There is significant volatility on a per year basis and commodities may not outperform every year or over the short or long term. The risk of loss in commodities investing can be substantial. Prospective investors should consider carefully whether commodities trading is suitable for them and their investment objectives.
