How it fits in a portfolio
The fund offers a concentrated fixed income exposure to the Asian region, the world's growth engine. The risk-return profile of the sub asset class as well as the region's need of financing to support its growth and demographic shifts make it an interesting option for those seeking to increase their geographical exposure to Asia without necessarily taking the higher volatility of Equity. Investors should note that solely investing in this Fund involves taking on specific risks in Asian markets, and should consider diversifying their portfolio across other geographies.
