About ELBCX
Ashmore SICAV Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund is an actively managed mutual fund specializing in fixed income securities from emerging market countries. The fund’s primary focus is on debt instruments issued by sovereign and quasi-sovereign entities, with investments predominantly denominated in the issuers’ local currencies. By allocating capital across a diverse array of countries and currencies, the fund aims to maximize total return for its investors while offering exposure to the distinct growth dynamics and yield profiles characteristic of emerging markets. Key features of the fund include its broad geographic and currency diversification, typically encompassing bonds from regions such as Latin America, Asia, and Africa. Its portfolio generally favors government and agency debt, supplemented by select corporate instruments. With an ongoing charges figure reflecting active management, the fund seeks to capture local currency appreciation and attractive yields, which historically tend to be higher than those available in developed markets. As part of the emerging-markets local-currency bond category, this fund provides investors with access to a rapidly evolving segment of the global fixed income market, offering both potential income generation and diversification benefits within a broader investment portfolio.
