A Good Investment Bet for 2016 – Emerging Markets

As reported by Bloomberg –
“After three years of disappointment, emerging markets are about to turn the corner, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. predicts….
Some countries are better positioned than others. While Colombia, South Africa, Turkey and Malaysia still need to tackle their current-account imbalances, Russia, India and Poland are among nations that have improved enough for their assets to rally, according to Goldman Sachs. Emerging-market currencies, which have tumbled this year, are no longer “expensive.”
The New York-based firm is joining a handful of investors who have become more upbeat about developing economies after their currencies fell to record lows and stocks trailed developed-market peers by 51 percentage points over the last three years. Franklin Templeton has said the selloff has opened up buying opportunities not seen for decades.”

Barclays is also suggesting that EM assets and commodities may have bottomed out
