RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Realized Rates of Return in Emerging Equity Markets JF The Journal of Portfolio Management FD Institutional Investor Journals SP 41 OP 49 DO 10.3905/jpm.2000.319727 VO 26 IS 3 A1 Mark R Eaker A1 Dwight M Grant A1 Nelson Woodard YR 2000 UL https://pm-research.com/content/26/3/41.abstract AB The authors analyze the returns of nine emerging markets for the period from 1976 through 1997. They find that although currency movements (primarily depreciation) have a dramatic impact on individual country returns, they have a much reduced impact on real returns and insignificant impact on the returns of a diversified portfolio. In addition, the authors demonstrate the importance of rebalancing and its effect on both the risk and return of an emerging market portfolio.
