GAEM focuses on bonds issued by entities in emerging markets, particularly in regions like Latin America and the Caribbean. The portfolio uses an opportunistic-tactical approach, utilizing top-down macroeconomic analysis to identify promising countries and bottom-up analysis to select specific corporate issuers. As part of the selection, fundamental, economic, and political analyses are considered. While the fund primarily concentrates on emerging market bonds, it may also consider non-emerging market debts. With no fixed restrictions on maturity or duration, the fund is free to adapt to evolving market conditions, aiming to balance the growth potential of emerging markets with the inherent risks of currency fluctuations, credit quality, and market volatility. Investments may include junk bonds and may be denominated in either USD or local currencies. The fund may hedge currency exposure back to USD using derivatives or hold bonds in local currencies without hedging.
