According to the Thornburg co-heads of investments, emerging markets are undergoing a process of profound transformation, marked by “a structural transition towards a model based on increasing disposable income in emerging markets and guided by domestic consumption,” in which other cyclical factors such as "the global fall in interest rates or the acceleration of GDP growth, particularly in relation to developed markets, are also involved.”

Thornburg's portfolio managers propose investors should address an eventual inflationary environment through investment in TIPS (U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities). Alternatively, they recommend short duration equities that pay dividends or investing in equities with pricing power, gold, bitcoin and hard assets.

The experts point to several risks going forward: the Covid-19 hangover and ongoing challenges from China, but also whether Biden's agenda will be negative for long-term growth, plus the situation of a global savings glut, accrued during the months of confinement, because it could trigger a stock market bubble.
