After years of U.S. outperformance, fund managers say they expect American assets to deliver gains in line with international markets in 2020.
The big picture: Firms including BlackRock, BofA and JPMorgan say they are particularly bullish on emerging market equities, which have been unloved in 2019.
What to watch: They predict strong growth next year for EM countries, even as China's growth is widely expected to slow below 6%.
