Products and Services

• Fixed Income Instruments

  This category includes bonds and other debt securities that generate fixed returns. The fund invests primarily in fixed income instruments of emerging market countries, aiming to provide investors with stable income based on the interest these instruments yield.

• Hybrid Securities

  Hybrid securities are investment instruments that combine features of both debt and equity, offering the potential for higher returns compared to traditional fixed income securities. By including these in its portfolio, the fund seeks to enhance its growth potential while retaining a degree of stability.

• Defaulted Corporate Securities

  Investing up to 20% of its net assets in defaulted corporate securities is a notable strategy. This involves purchasing bonds from companies that have defaulted on their debt. While these investments carry higher risk, they also offer the potential for substantial gains if the companies recover financially.

• Derivatives and Other Instruments

  The fund employs derivatives and other financial instruments, including options, swaps (credit default swaps included), futures, structured investments, and foreign currency futures and forward contracts. These tools are used to enhance returns, manage risk, and gain exposure to various market elements without directly investing in them. This approach reflects the fund's comprehensive strategy to maximize investment opportunities and manage risk effectively.
