About IGAEX
Ashmore Emerging Markets Debt Fund Class A is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with exposure to the debt markets of emerging economies. Its primary objective is to maximize income, with a secondary goal of achieving long-term capital appreciation. The fund mainly invests at least 80% of its net assets in investment grade bonds and debt instruments issued by sovereign, quasi-sovereign, or supranational entities in emerging market countries, with a notable focus on securities denominated in hard currencies such as the U.S. dollar. By diversifying across more than 100 holdings, it captures opportunities within government, energy, financial, and industrial sectors across global emerging markets. The fund distributes income on a monthly basis and is characterized by a moderate expense ratio and a yield that reflects its underlying emerging markets exposure. By allocating capital to a broad array of government-backed and corporate debt from developing regions, the fund plays a vital role for investors seeking diversified fixed income exposure beyond developed markets, balancing higher yield potential with the distinct risks associated with emerging economies.
