Asia Credit Spreads Look Rewarding

- For investors looking for diversification, Asia corporate bonds offer three key advantages: higher return potential, lower historic volatility and access to highly creditworthy issuers within emerging markets.
- Over the next decade, it is expected that companies in frontier markets within Asia to expand their bond issuance globally and these markets to mature and deepen over time.
