We corrected the recommendations for the Celulosa Arauco ’17s and ’19s in Table 11 on page 27.

Global EM Corporate Strategy

We target the spread on the CEMBI Broad to reach260bp by the end of 2011 versus 304bp currently and estimate total returns to fall between 6-7% for the full year with the investment grade and high yield segments returning approximately 5.7% and 9.8%, respectively. Based on this return forecast we recommend investors enter 2011 overweight the CEMBI Broad relative to the EMBIG, which is forecast to end 2011 at a spread of 250bp for returns in the4-5% range. Within the asset class, we expect high yield to outperform investment grade with the BB segment of the index representing the most attractive part of the credit curve. Based on J.P. Morgan’s 2011 forecasts for US investment-grade and high-yield credit indices, we also see EM Corporates delivering higher returns with favorable credit trends in EM driving a further narrowing in the basisbetween EM and developed market spreads. Although the overall technical backdrop is expected to moderate from the strong conditions enjoyed in 2010, they should remain supportive as potentially slower inflows are offset by supply of new issuance falling back to more normalized levels. On the supply side, we forecast gross supply to reach US$165 billion which equates to an overall net financinggap (gross supply minus coupons and amortizations) of approximately US$74.7 billion for the full year.
