About this work
After the 2018 emerging market selloff, improving sentiment raised a question: how much exposure had investors actually shed? Jonathan Fortun, Robin Brooks and Tariq Khan combine capital flow data with changes in asset valuations to measure positioning. Their framework distinguishes money moving across borders from changes in the value of existing holdings, which historically accounted for most shifts in positioning.
