About ECDCX

Ashmore Emerging Markets Corporate Income Fund Class C is a mutual fund focused on maximizing total return by investing predominantly in debt instruments issued by corporations based in or operating within emerging market countries. The fund allocates the vast majority of its portfolio—over 90%—to bonds, with minimal exposure to cash and equities. Its strategy targets a broad universe of more than 60 emerging markets, offering diversification across various corporate sectors and geographies. This investment vehicle plays a significant role in providing access to corporate credit from developing economies, which may offer distinct yield and risk characteristics compared to developed markets. The fund's structure is designed to capture opportunities in emerging markets' corporate debt, but it is also subject to the unique risks present in those regions, including increased market volatility, currency fluctuations, and political or economic instability. Monthly income distributions are a notable feature, supporting its role for investors seeking yield in a diversified fixed-income portfolio.
