Aberdeen Asset Management has strengthened its Emerging Market Debt team with the addition of Debora Confortini as a credit analyst. Based in São Paulo, Brazil, Debora will work within Aberdeen’s 13-strong EMD team, focusing on credit research. She has joined from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service where she was a ratings specialist focusing on Latin American companies. She graduated with a BA in Accounting & Finance from the University of São Paulo. Aberdeen is an established and leading manager of emerging market debt with clients located around the world. The team manages over US$7.7 billion, some US$750 million of which is invested in corporate bonds.
Brett Diment, Head of Emerging Markets Fixed Income at Aberdeen, comments:
“Emerging market corporate bonds have come into their own as a stand-alone asset class. The addition of Debora strengthens further the team and illustrates Aberdeen’s ongoing commitment to undertaking on the ground research. Our extensive inhouse emerging market credit research resource has analysts based in London, São Paulo and Singapore in addition to being able to access the due diligence undertaken by Aberdeen’s Asia Pacific and global emerging market equity teams.”
