About PELPX
PIMCO Emerging Markets Local Currency and Bond Fund I-2 is an open-end mutual fund that focuses on fixed income investments within emerging market economies. Its primary objective is to achieve maximum total return while maintaining preservation of capital and applying prudent investment management practices. The fund stands out by investing at least 80% of its assets in bonds and other fixed income instruments that are either denominated in, or whose issuers are based in, the local currencies of emerging market countries. This approach allows investors to gain exposure to both the debt markets and the local currencies of developing nations, providing diversification benefits distinct from funds investing solely in developed markets or external debt. The fund plays a significant role in the market by offering access to the growth potential of emerging economies and their currencies, which can be driven by different economic cycles and policy decisions compared to developed markets. By targeting local currency debt, the fund enables participation in currency appreciation and interest rate dynamics unique to these regions, while aiming to manage risks through professional oversight and diversification.
Performance
PELPX had a total return of 9.00% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 2.33%.
