About EMTCX

Transamerica Emerging Markets Debt Fund Class C is a mutual fund that invests primarily in government and corporate debt securities issued by entities in emerging market countries. The fund’s objective is to generate a high total return through a combination of capital appreciation and income. It allocates at least 80% of its net assets to debt instruments from issuers located in emerging markets, targeting regions with favorable economic and demographic trends. The fund is non-diversified, meaning it may have a higher concentration in specific issuers or countries compared to diversified funds. Share Class C is subject to a contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within the first year. Transamerica Emerging Markets Debt Fund Class C plays a role in providing investors access to the growth potential and yield opportunities of emerging market fixed income, while also exposing them to the unique risks associated with these markets, such as currency fluctuations and political instability.
