Morningstar’s Ali Masarwah comments:
“As interest rates rose across the global in November and concerns about the reduction of the Federal Reserve’s asset purchase program persisted, European investors shunned bond funds. Investors sold off emerging-markets bond funds, and emerging-markets equity funds also fell out of favour. As the upward streak of the equity markets continued, funds in the European large-cap blend, Japanese equity and global equity-income categories remained on the shopping list of investors. High-yield bond funds also profited from the yield-chasing phenomenon we’ve observed for many months.”
