Summary

This team at Eaton Vance Emerging Markets Local Income is one of the biggest emerging-market debt groups in the industry, but has been plagued by regular turnover since 2021. That’s particularly concerning given that the process is decentralized and relies heavily on individual idea-generators who do not shy away from risk.
