Emerging markets diversified fixed income management in local currency
The objective of the Sub-Fund (“Fund”) is to seek high total return provided by current income, foreign exchange gains and capital appreciation by investing
mainly in fixed income securities and instruments denominated in the local currency of various emerging market countries. The Fund primarily invests in sovereign and corporate bonds denominated in the local currency of emerging market countries. The Fund seeks to identify and exploit fixed income opportunities that arise in emerging markets in the course of the economic development process. This process typically involves the adoption of orthodox economic reforms, paving the way for macroeconomic stability, higher relative growth rates, improving living standards, deepening linkages to global markets, and strengthening credit fundamentals.
There are a number of global factors that affect the value of securities in the strategy, including, but not limited to, commodity prices, economic growth,
interest rate levels, and risk appetite. The portfolio managers control position size, aggregate issuer exposure, country weights, currency allocation, credit
quality, and duration to seek to ensure that the Fund’s portfolio is sufficiently diverse to limit its correlation to specific risk factors.
