A practitioner's guide to finding alpha in fixed income trading in emerging markets Emerging fixed income markets are both large and fast growing. China, currently the second largest economy in the world, is predicted to overtake the United States by 2030. Chinese fixed income markets are worth more than $11 trillion USD and are being added to global fixed income indices starting in 2019. Access for foreigners to the Indian fixed income market, valued at almost 1trn USD, is also becoming easier – a trend repeated in emerging markets around the world. The move to include large Emerging Market (EM) fixed income markets into non-EM benchmarks requires non-EM specialists to understand EM fixed income. Trading Fixed Income in Emerging Markets examines the principle drivers for EM fixed income investing. This timely guide suggests a more systematic approach to EM fixed income trading with a focus on practical trading rules on how to generate alpha, assisting EM practitioners to limit market-share losses to passive investment vehicles. The definitive text on trading EM fixed income, this book is heavily data-driven – every trading rule is thoroughly back-tested over the last 10+ years. Case studies help readers identify and benefit from market regularities, while discussions of the business cycle and typical EM events inform and optimise trading strategies. Topics include portfolio construction, how to apply ESG principles to EM and the future of EM investing in the realm of Big Data and machine learning. Written by practitioners for practitioners, this book: Provides effective, immediately-accessible tools Covers all three fixed income asset classes: EMFX, EM local rates and EM credit Thoroughly analyses the impact of the global macro cycle on EM investing Examines the influence of the financial rise of China and its fixed income markets Includes case studies of trades that illustrate how markets typically behave in certain situations The first book of its kind, Trading Fixed Income in Emerging Markets: A Practitioner’s Guide is an indispensable resource for EM fund managers, analysts and strategists, sell-side professionals in EM and non-EM specialists considering activity in emerging markets.

Foreword note for the book is by Mr. Shailesh Haribhakti, Chartered Accountant - the only Indian to receive the Global Competent Board’s Certification declaring him as ESG ready. He is also a winner of several corporate governance awards including the best Independent Director. He is a fellow of IOD. Unique feature of the book lies in the elaboration of the role of IDs and committees of board; templates for mandatory codes, policies, and reports – both incorporating requirements under SEBI Regulations/Act. Despite India having the best Corporate Governance framework the corporate frauds that keep surfacing underlines that the IDs and Auditors are yet to become independent in letter and spirit. Case of a listed PSU which failed to discharge fiduciary responsibilities leading to end of a good project and loss of huge public funds is also covered in the book.
The book is the first of its kind. It consolidates under 18 different subjects in two volumes the objective of Central Acts passed by the Central Government. It covers the objective of each Act, the rights, duties, obligations, and punishments for non-compliance. The book is directed at non-legal persons i.e., ordinary citizens of the country who have not studied or practice law as a subject. The book can also be of immense value as a reference tool to lawyers and legal practitioners. The utility value of the book can be enhanced manifold once it is translated into regional languages. The book aims at guiding a reader into an informed citizen. It provides a platform to reduce the impact and incidence of risks arising out of non-compliance. It is more apt today when so much debate is taking place in the country related to constitutional rights, sedition laws, receiving FCRA, rights of women, the privileged, animal rights, etc. The book has the foreword notes by Mr. Shailesh Haribhakti, an eminent chartered accountant and Mr. Manoj K Raut, CEO of the Institute of Directors (IOD).
