Episode 6: Emerging market debt post-Covid
Peter Becker
Investment Director
November 15, 2021

The hunt for yield has made emerging market debt (EMD) an attractive asset class, even if its performance in 2021 wasn’t remarkable. The market is mature and in some parts highly liquid, with local currency bonds now accounting for the bulk. In a plea for active management and fundamental research into issuers, Capital Group Investment Director Peter Becker takes listeners through the EMD market post-COVID-19: where are the opportunities? Where does he see growth? And which countries remain vulnerable?


Peter Becker is an investment director at Capital Group. He has 26 years of industry experience and has been with Capital Group for four years. Prior to joining Capital, Peter was a managing director in the fixed income product management team at Wellington Management. Before that, he was a portfolio manager at Aberdeen Asset Management.
