Abstract: The article outlines the essential elements of a methodology to convert speculative-grade (SG) exposure into investment-grade (IG) exposure. Since some developed market investors prefer IG exposure to SG exposure, the methodology can help emerging market (EM) asset holders optimize their balance sheets and financial operations. The methodology involves debt issuance by triple-A rated development finance institutions (DFIs) and multilateral development banks (MDBs). Requiring capital markets, portfolio optimization, and structured finance expertise, it supports Group of Twenty (G20) priorities related to MDBs.
