The Fund invests primarily in bonds (contracts to repay borrowed money which typically pay interest at fixed times). These bonds are issued by governments, institutions or companies in emerging markets (countries that are in economic terms less developed than the major Western countries) predominantly in the currency of the issuing country.

The Fund may invest in other assets such as cash, other funds (which may be managed by the Investment Manager, other companies in the same group as the Investment Manager or a third party) and derivatives (financial contracts whose value is linked to the price of an underlying asset).

Derivatives may be used for investment purposes (i.e. in order to achieve the Fund's investment objectives) or for efficient portfolio management purposes e.g. with the aim of either managing the Fund risks or reducing the costs of managing the Fund.
