About PRELX

T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund is an actively managed fixed income mutual fund that seeks to provide high income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in bonds denominated in the local currencies of emerging market countries. The fund allocates at least 80% of its net assets to sovereign and quasi-sovereign bonds from emerging market issuers, utilizing both physical securities and derivatives to gain exposure. Its diverse portfolio spans more than 50 issuers, employing a blend of in-depth country risk analysis and proprietary research to identify opportunities across local interest rate cycles and currency trends. The strategy emphasizes broad diversification and integrates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations, with a significant portion of assets screened for responsible investment criteria. With a moderate interest rate sensitivity and portfolio turnover, the fund targets intermediate to long-term maturities, and is designed to capture both bond yields and potential currency appreciation within emerging economies. T. Rowe Price’s dedicated global fixed income team anchors the fund’s rigorous credit, country, and valuation assessments, making it a specialized vehicle for investors aiming for exposure to emerging markets' local debt dynamics.
