About EMDQX
PGIM Emerging Markets Debt Local Currency Fund is a mutual fund that primarily focuses on investing in debt securities from emerging market countries, with a significant emphasis on instruments denominated in local currencies. Its primary purpose is to seek total return by allocating at least 80% of its investable assets to a mix of local currency bonds and related fixed-income instruments from sovereign and corporate issuers within emerging economies. This strategy provides broad exposure to both credit and currency risks associated with these markets, offering potential diversification benefits and access to the growth dynamics of developing nations. The fund plays a distinct role in the market by allowing investors to tap into emerging market debt while seeking to benefit from movements in local currencies, rather than being limited to U.S. dollar-denominated assets. It is notably recognized for its diversified holdings and for providing regular income distributions, reflecting its status as a specialized tool for those seeking to integrate emerging market fixed income exposure into broader portfolios.
