About GMOQX
The GMO Emerging Country Debt Fund Class VI is a mutual fund focused on generating total returns above its benchmark, the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified. This fund primarily invests in the external debt of sovereign and quasi-sovereign issuers from emerging markets, offering exposure to a diverse set of countries with varying economic profiles. Utilizing a bottom-up investment approach, the fund’s management team emphasizes the selection of securities with similar default risk characteristics but with the potential for superior long-term total returns compared to benchmark constituents. By focusing on issue selection rather than macroeconomic market timing or forecasting, the fund seeks to capitalize on inefficiencies within the emerging debt space. This strategy serves institutional and individual investors seeking diversification and higher yield potential within their fixed income allocation, and it plays a significant role in providing access to the credit markets of developing economies while balancing risk and return considerations.
Performance
GMOQX had a total return of 22.85% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 7.60%.
