About this fund
Fund objectives
- The Fund employs a passive management – or indexing – investment approach, through physical acquisition of securities, and seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg EM USD Sovereign + Quasi-Sov Index (the “Index“).
- The Fund invests in a representative sample of bonds included in the Index in order to closely match the Index’s capital and income return.
- The Index measures the performance of a broad spread of US dollar denominated bonds issued by emerging market governments and public bodies.
- Bonds in the Index have maturities of greater than one year and no credit rating constraints.
- To a lesser extent the Fund may invest in similar types of bonds outside the Index.
