Strategy

Investment Objective

To maximise the value of its shares through both growth in the value of, and income from, its investments. The fund invests mainly in a diversified portfolio of bonds of all types from emerging market issuers, with a focus on bonds that are denominated in the local currency.

Investment Approach

  • Focus primarily on sovereign debt denominated in the currencies of the respective emerging countries.
  • Integrate proprietary credit research and relative value analysis.
  • Establish independent credit rating by country.
  • Add value through active country, currency and individual security selection decisions.
  • Limit risk through diversification.
  • Employ long-term investment horizon combined with low portfolio turnover.
  • Environmental, social and governance ("ESG") factors with particular focus on those considered most likely to have a material impact on the performance of the holdings or potential holdings in the fund’s portfolio are assessed. These ESG factors, which are incorporated into the investment process alongside financials, valuation, macro-economics and other factors, are components of the investment decision. Consequently, ESG factors are not the sole driver of an investment decision but are instead one of several important inputs considered during investment analysis.

31-May-2025 - Andrew Keirle, Portfolio Manager

In US dollar terms, local bonds in emerging markets (EM) posted gains, and many EM currencies appreciated versus the dollar in May. Ongoing concerns over the impact of tariffs on the US economy, related uncertainties, and a credit rating downgrade from rating agency Moody’s weighed on the dollar. Within the portfolio, our short duration positioning in developed markets had a positive impact as yields rose over the month. Our overweight duration stance in Türkiye contributed due to a return to emphasizing economic reforms. Conversely, our overweight duration stance in India was detrimental amid tensions with Pakistan. In currency, our out-of-benchmark position in the Egyptian pound and the Nigerian naira contributed as risk sentiment improved over the month. Our long position in the South African rand was beneficial as the currency strengthened from lows seen in April. On the other hand, short position in the Taiwanese dollar and long position in the Japanese yen weighed.
