About ELBAX
Ashmore SICAV Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund is a mutual fund specializing in debt instruments from emerging market countries, with a primary focus on bonds issued by sovereign and quasi-sovereign entities. This fund invests primarily in securities denominated in the local currencies of the issuers, providing exposure not only to interest rate movements within emerging markets but also to local currency fluctuations. The fund spans a diverse set of regions, including Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Africa, reflecting the broad reach of emerging market debt opportunities. It aims to maximize total return through a diversified portfolio, balancing yield, capital appreciation, and currency dynamics. With a disciplined approach to managing portfolio duration—typically maintaining a weighted average between 2 and 7 years—the fund caters to investors seeking to diversify away from developed markets and access the growth and liquidity of emerging economies’ local currency bond markets. The Ashmore SICAV Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund plays a significant role in connecting global investors to the rapidly developing fixed income sectors of emerging markets, helping governments and institutions access capital while offering investors a differentiated risk-return profile.
