Elders Limited (ELD)

Overview

The fund focuses on generating revenue by investing primarily in bonds and other debt instruments that are denominated in the currencies of emerging market countries. By allocating at least 80% of its net assets, in addition to any funds borrowed for investment purposes, towards Local Debt, the fund aims to benefit from the economic developments within these nations. The management strives to keep the aggregate portfolio duration within the range of two to ten years depending on prevailing market conditions, signaling a flexible approach to interest rate sensitivity and market volatility. Being a non-diversified fund, it may exhibit higher risk and volatility due to its concentrated investment strategy but also presents potential for significant returns.
