With U.S. interest rates set to rise, concerns of a slowdown in the Chinese economy and the devaluation of several emerging market (EM) currencies, those markets are facing a rocky and uncertain road ahead. In Deutsche Bank’s monthly quant view research piece, the firm looks for strategies that investors can implement to limit their exposure to emerging markets during this period of high uncertainty.

While much of the damage and data was factored in during the recent 6% decline, nervous investors may find the Deutsche Bank stocks to buy easier to sleep with at night. The Deutsche Bank team tests whether a company’s reported EM revenue as a percentage of total revenue provides a reasonable proxy to EM market exposure. This helps to flush out stocks with too high of a revenue exposure to volatile markets.
