Nick Rohatyn, CEO of The Rohatyn Group, discusses his firm's horizontal, multi-asset class investment approach in emerging markets. Rohatyn emphasizes the flaws in common emerging market benchmarks, particularly their concentration and currency exposure, advocating for benchmark-agnostic, long-only total return strategies. He shares his experiences building JP Morgan's emerging markets business and the importance of diversification across asset classes, regions, and investment styles to navigate the unpredictable cycles. Rohatyn also highlights the opportunity for global leadership in EM asset management, aiming to provide comprehensive solutions for investors. He touches on TRG's acquisition strategy, integrating various capabilities to offer a wide range of investment options in public and private markets.
