Latin American Investment Grade Corporate Debt

Investment objective summary

The Fund aims to provide income with the opportunity to grow the value of your investment over the long term.

The Fund invests primarily in a diverse range of bonds (contracts to repay borrowed money which typically pay interest at fixed times) issued by Latin American companies. At least 90% of the bonds invested in are of investment grade (high quality) as rated by the credit rating agencies (companies that rate the ability of the issuers of bonds to repay borrowed money).

The Fund’s investments may be issued in Latin American local currencies as well as hard currencies (globally traded major currencies) and currency and interest rate exposures will be actively managed.

The Fund may also invest in bonds issued by Latin American governments.

Derivatives (financial contracts whose value is linked to the price of an underlying asset) may be used for efficient portfolio management purposes e.g. with the aim of either managing the Fund risks or reducing the costs of managing the Fund.
