Description

Objective
The fund's investment objective is to provide a high level of total return over the long term, of which current income is a large component.
Distinguishing Characteristics
This strategy takes a differentiated approach by investing in the full universe of emerging markets debt. It invests in both sovereign and corporate bonds, denominated in either U.S. dollar or local currency issues, which may serve as a source of favorable returns and potential diversification. As pioneers in emerging markets investing, this strategy leverages our 20-year track record of managing emerging markets bond portfolios.
Types of Investments
Government debt (nominal and inflation-linked), quasi-sovereigns and corporate bonds — including U.S. dollar-denominated and local-currency issues.
Holdings Outside the U.S.
Up to 100% of assets may be invested in securities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, mostly fixed-income securities of emerging markets governments, quasi-government entities and corporations.
Maturity
The bond maturities that the fund targets will vary depending on the current strategy being implemented.
Portfolio Restrictions
The fund generally invests at least 80% of its assets in bonds and other debt securities from emerging markets issuers (some of which may be represented by derivatives). The fund may invest in securities rated below-investment grade (BB/Ba and below), or unrated, but determined by the fund’s investment adviser to be of equivalent quality at the time of purchase, including high-yield bonds issued by developing country governments and corporates.
