[1] — Ann Miletti "Only 5% of global AUM is in emerging markets versus a long-run historical average of 7%.

Emerging Markets: $500 Billion Still on the Sidelines
Only 5% of global AUM is in emerging markets versus a long-run historical average of 7%. That 2-percentage-point gap represents up to $500 billion in potential inflows. Ann Miletti says EM fundamentals have matured, and 2026 is still a good time to be there.
AI Euphoria Has Made Markets Dangerously Narrow
Ann Miletti is a committed AI bull, but she worries markets have become too narrow — with all capital flowing to AI names and ignoring diversification. A 'Deepseek moment' or another black swan could wipe out AI-concentrated portfolios quickly.
$500B potential EM inflows
If emerging market AUM allocation rises from 5% to its historical 7% average, it could bring $500 billion in new investments to those markets.
