Overview

Investment Approach


The Fund aims to achieve a total return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income, which reflects the return of the J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index - Emerging Market Global Diversified Index, the Fund’s benchmark index (Index).

The Fund invests predominantly in fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds) that make up the Index. The Index is comprised of local currency denominated fixed rate FI securities issued by emerging market sovereign and quasi-sovereign entities. Quasi-sovereign entities must be 100% guaranteed or 100% owned by the relevant sovereign entity.

At the time of purchase, the FI securities may be investment grade (i.e. meet a specified level of credit worthiness) non-investment grade or unrated. Below investment grade FI securities may constitute a significant portion of the Index. Such securities may be rated or are deemed by the investment manager to be of equivalent rating. If the credit rating of a FI security is downgraded, the Fund may continue to hold this, until it is practicable to sell the position.

Important Information: Capital at Risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested.

Emerging markets are generally more sensitive to economic and political conditions than developed markets. Other factors include greater 'Liquidity Risk', restrictions on investment or transfer of assets and failed/delayed delivery of securities or payments to the Fund. Fixed income securities issued or guaranteed by government entities in emerging markets generally experience higher ‘Credit Risk’ than developed economies. Changes to interest rates, credit risk and/or issuer defaults will have a significant impact on the performance of fixed income securities. Noninvestment grade fixed income securities can be more sensitive to changes in these risks than higher rated fixed income securities. Potential or actual credit rating downgrades may increase the level of perceived risk. Currency Risk: The Fund invests in other currencies. Changes in exchange rates will therefore affect the value of the investment.

All currency hedged share classes of this fund use derivatives to hedge currency risk. The use of derivatives for a share class could pose a potential risk of contagion (also known as spill-over) to other share classes in the fund. The fund’s management company will ensure appropriate procedures are in place to minimise contagion risk to other share class. Using the drop down box directly below the name of the fund, you can view a list of all share classes in the fund – currency hedged share classes are indicated by the word “Hedged” in the name of the share class. In addition, a full list of all currency hedged share classes is available on request from the fund’s management company
