BlackRock and JPMorgan Asset Management are gradually cutting exposure to U.S. fixed-income assets and adding emerging-market local-currency debt, according to a Techub report citing CryptoBriefing. Both firms see more attractive valuations in emerging-market bonds, while also targeting higher real yields. The report said BlackRock Global Fixed Income Chief Investment Officer Rick Rieder began reducing exposure to U.S. investment-grade bonds in February 2026. At JPMorgan Asset Management, Bob Michele has expressed a positive view on emerging-market local debt because of its relatively high real yields. The item also noted a separate warning from JPMorgan Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon, who previously said that persistent U.S. fiscal deficits and geopolitical risks could trigger a bond-market crisis. The report frames the portfolio shift as part of a broader preference for better-valued debt instruments outside the U.S. market.
