Morgan Stanley analysts expect emerging markets to outperform in 2019 with a base case forecast of 8% price return for MSCI EM index. Based on the earning growth prospects for the MSCI EM index, it compares favorably with the S&P500 index, standing at 10+% and 6+% respectively. However, historical data has shown that over the last 6 years the Y-O-Y earnings growth is 0. This goes to show that investing in EM is a long term strategy for investors with a high risk tolerance to be able to ride out the high volatility of the em equities market.
