Babson Capital has added 12 new investment professionals to the firm’s emerging market investment team, completing a team expansion that began in the fall of 2013.
Last October, the firm hired Ricardo Adrogue and Brigitte Posch to spearhead its new emerging market debt team under the leadership of Russ Morrison, Managing Director and Head of Global Fixed Income. The team is now fully staffed and integrated with Babson Capital’s fixed income investment teams in the U.S. and Europe.

Morrison said: "Our global credit research team consists of seasoned investment professionals with deep expertise that spans the full credit spectrum. Adding a robust emerging market component to our platform supports our efforts to bring comprehensive, multi-credit solutions to our clients."
Tom Finke, chairman and CEO, Babson Capital, said: "We believe our emerging market debt platform is unique in the industry. The integration of our investment teams across markets and geographies, along with an investment process that combines local debt and sovereign strategies with bottom-up credit analysis and top-down macro insights, provide us with a truly holistic view of the emerging markets. This enables us to identify the most attractive relative value opportunities as they arise."
Babson Capital recently launched two emerging market debt funds in Europe, and plans to expand its offerings over the near term.
