The fund is part of the broader ecosystem of financial investment products, specialized in providing investors with exposure to emerging markets through a carefully curated portfolio of bonds. It operates as an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF), which sets it apart in the investment landscape by offering real-time trading capabilities akin to stocks, coupled with the diversified risk of traditional mutual funds. This fund’s strategic focus on emerging markets aims to capitalize on the potential high growth and yields that these economies can offer, making it an appealing choice for investors looking to diversify their portfolios beyond developed markets. The emphasis on bonds denominated in both USD and local currencies is intended to hedge against currency risk while providing an avenue for investors to gain from local economic growth directly.
This service underscores the fund's core offering, wherein it actively manages a portfolio of emerging market bonds. Unlike passive ETFs that track a specific index, this fund's investment team selects individual securities with the goal of outperforming the broader market. This active management approach allows for dynamic adjustments in response to changing economic and market conditions in emerging markets.
The fund focuses on investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in debt securities of issuers located in emerging markets. These investments may be denominated in either USD or the local currency of the issuer, providing a balanced mix aimed at optimizing returns while managing potential currency risks. The emphasis on bonds ties the fund’s performance to the creditworthiness and economic health of these emerging markets, offering investors an opportunity to partake in their growth trajectory and higher yield potential compared to developed markets.
