• In this edition of the Coverage report, downgrades (19) outpaced upgrades AC
(11), once again reflecting the impact of tight spreads, with all downgrades Natalia Corfield
to UW concentrated in IG issuers across Mexico and Chile, while natalia.corfield@jpmorgan.comAC
downgrades to Neutral were largely driven by ECOPET's curve following Alejandra Andrade
particularly strong performance. Overall, OW recommendations remain alejandra.andrade@jpmorgan.comAC
concentrated in Financials and Oil & Gas, while exposure to the Utilities Ian B Snyder
sector was increased this month. We also note continued caution on the ian.b.snyder@jpmchase.com
Consumer and Pulp & Paper sectors, where the majority of our Florencia Palacios AC
fundamentally-driven UWs are concentrated. By country, OWs remain florencia.x.palacios@jpmorgan.com
broadly distributed across the region, albeit with a recent reduction in
Colombian exposure following the presidential elections, while UWs are
predominantly focused in Chile and Brazil.
