Increased buy-in to the carry thesis. The vast majority of US investors is bullish emerging market assets; with most participating in EM carry plays.

EM favourites currently include Mexico, Russia, Poland, and Indonesia. Most investors expressed a preference for high-yielding markets over low-yielding markets.
