Overview

The actively managed fund mainly invests in bonds issued by sovereigns of emerging economies but also considers issues from companies which have their registered offices in emerging markets or are principally active in emerging markets.

The fund’s investment focus is on emerging market bonds denominated in local currencies.

The fund actively manages currency exposure, country and security selection, yield curve positioning, and duration.

The portfolio manager is not tied to the benchmark in terms of investment selection or weight.

Benefits

Investors can participate in global emerging economies’ upside potential and possible positive exchange rate effects, driven by higher economic growth and low debt levels in these countries compared to developed economies

Investors enjoy diversification across countries, local currencies and issuers from emerging market regions across the globe.

Risks

The fund offers higher return potential than a high-quality fixed income portfolio and therefore bears a higher risk. Emerging markets are at an early stage of development, which can typically involve a high level of price volatility and other specific risks, such as lower market transparency, regulatory hurdles, corporate governance as well as political and social challenges. Changes in interest rates, credit spreads, and exchange rates have an impact on the fund’s value. The fund can use derivatives, which may result in additional risks, particularly counterparty risk. Liquidity in emerging markets may be limited. All investments are subject to market fluctuations. The fund can invest in less liquid assets that may be difficult to sell in the case of distressed markets. Every fund has specific risks, which can significantly increase under unusual market conditions. This requires the corresponding risk tolerance and capacity. This Fund may not be appropriate for investors who plan to withdraw their money before the recommended holding period disclosed in the PRIIPs KID, if available for this share class.
