FACTSHEET
KID
SFDR DISCLOSURE
31-Jul-2024 - Samy Muaddi, Portfolio Manager,
We believe emerging markets debt continues to offer a substantial yield premium over many fixed income assets amid broadly supportive sovereign fundamentals. While stressed fiscal conditions persist in some frontier markets, we do not anticipate a systematic default cycle as risks are concentrated in smaller markets that pose less contagion risk.

Overview
Strategy
Fund Summary
We follow a bottom-up selection process grounded in individual credit fundamentals, guided by selected top-down themes. Proprietary credit research is integrated with relative value analysis. We utilise our emerging markets sovereign and corporate bond analysts as well as collaborating with our emerging markets equity analysts. The promotion of environmental and/or social characteristics is achieved through the fund's commitment to maintain at least 50% of the value of its portfolio invested in issuers and/or securities that are rated as ‘Green’ by the T. Rowe Price proprietary Responsible Investor Indicator Model (RIIM). Additionally, we apply a proprietary responsible screen (exclusion list). The manager is not constrained by the fund’s benchmark, which is used for performance comparison purposes only.
OUR VIEWS ON EMERGING MARKETS
Performance - Net of Fees

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

31-Jul-2024 - Samy Muaddi, Portfolio Manager,
Emerging markets debt rose in July amid declining yields as cooling inflation and growth data led to increased expectations that the US Federal Reserve would soon be able to start cutting interest rates. Within the portfolio, our holdings in Suriname, particularly in the country’s oil-linked value recovery instruments, were beneficial. Our local bond holdings in Poland lifted relative results further as economic activity data and inflation coming in below expectations led to more interest rate cuts being priced in. Additionally, our local bond holdings in Brazil contributed as US rate cut expectations caused local bonds to rally. On the other hand, our holdings in Venezuela detracted as a contested election at the end of the period was a drag on the country. Our investments in Sri Lanka also hurt as investor concerns over the September election and the future of the country’s reforms outweighed news of progress on finalising debt restructuring.
31-Jan-2024 - Samy Muaddi, Portfolio Manager,
At the sector level, we continue to find value in quasi-sovereigns and corporates in higher-quality mainstream markets, such as Mexico, India, and Indonesia, that offer yield premiums over the sovereign as well as in dislocated BBB/BB/B rated corporates that have attractive fundamentals in the broader emerging market.
31-Jan-2024 - Samy Muaddi, Portfolio Manager,
As the year started with a flurry of issuance, we made a few portfolio changes in January. We added to frontier countries that score well in our anchoring framework, such as Côte d’Ivoire and Angola. We are structurally underweight higher-rated mainstream emerging markets, such as the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, and Uruguay, although we moderated our underweight exposure to Saudi Arabia. We remain underweight select countries, such as Nigeria, that lack fundamental anchors.
