Transamerica Emerging Markets D (0P0000TKEC)

Overview

The described company is a fund that focuses its investments in debt securities from issuers located in emerging market countries. With a clear strategy that dedicates at least 80% of its net assets—and any borrowings for investment purposes—toward this end, the fund adopts a targeted approach to balancing its portfolio across various exposures. This involves investing in U.S. dollar and euro-denominated sovereign debt, as well as corporate debt, with specified ranges for each to maintain a blend of stability and growth potential inherent to emerging markets. Additionally, the fund's strategy encompasses a portion of its investment in local currency sovereign and corporate debts, further diversifying its holdings and potential risk exposure. Notably, the fund is categorized as non-diversified, meaning it may invest more heavily in a smaller number of issues or market sectors, potentially increasing its risk but also its opportunity for return.
