Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q4

The Funds investment objective is total return.

Strategy · summarised

The fund invests at least 80% of net assets in income instruments issued by emerging market entities or sovereigns, and derivative instruments based on emerging market currencies, interest rates or securities, seeking to outperform the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Hard Currency/Local Currency 50-50 Index through country selection, currency management, security selection and duration decisions. The fund is non-diversified and may invest a greater percentage of its assets in securities of a single issuer than a diversified fund. Because the fund's actual results may diverge materially from its target ranges over shorter market cycles, realized performance could differ substantially from stated objectives. The fund expects extensive use of derivatives, including forwards, futures, swaps and options, which may create economic leverage.

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 2.42pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.48pp a year — not a difference in what they own.

These three overlap — one holding can be in arrears and paying in kind at once — so they are shown separately and never summed.

Risk profile

Interest-rate and credit-spread sensitivity, both in years · as of 2026Q2

Most of this fund’s sensitivity is to interest rates, with credit spreads carrying about half as much.

Interest-rate duration
2.88 yr
approx. move per 100bp
Credit-spread duration
1.47 yr
approx. move per 100bp
If rates and spreads both rise 100bp

Where the loss would come from. The two shocks are the same size, so this is the balance of the fund's two sensitivities rather than a bet on one moving more.

≈ -4.5%
of value
Interest rates66%
Credit spreads34%

Filers report the impact of a 0.01% move only, so the total is our own scaling of that one number and overstates the loss on most bonds — read it as approximate, never as precise. The two sensitivities overlap rather than add up: they measure the same positions against different shocks, which is why the durations above are shown side by side and never summed.

Where the risk sits on the curve

Share of duration at each point, shortest first. This filer signs its rate and credit disclosures differently; the direction shown follows its interest-rate filing, and a negative reading is the least-supported figure here.

The two bands measure the same positions against different shocks and do not add — a Treasury carries rate duration and no spread duration, a floating-rate credit the reverse. Rate tenors are also summed across every currency the fund discloses.

Rate exposure by currency

Duration contribution in years, summing to the fund's 2.88 yr.

CNY+0.49 yr
MXN+0.41 yr
KRW+0.29 yr
HUF+0.26 yr
BRL+0.20 yr
INR+0.19 yr
14 others+1.05 yr

This is where the fund's rate exposure sits, not its currency risk — most international bond funds hedge the currency back to dollars, and the size of those hedges is not in the filing. Tenors are also summed across curves, so a 5-year JPY point and a 5-year USD point are added together.
