About VSHCX
Virtus Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Debt Income Fund A Class is a mutual fund specializing in emerging markets fixed income securities. Its primary objective is to maximize total return through a combination of income and capital appreciation. The fund systematically invests at least 80% of its assets in a broad array of debt instruments from emerging market countries, including sovereign and corporate bonds, structured notes, and related derivatives. It has significant allocations across regions such as Latin America, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, with over 80% typically invested in sovereign hard currency debt. The fund’s flexible strategy encompasses both investment-grade and below-investment-grade securities, allowing exposure to higher yields as well as credit risk, often focusing on high yield or “junk bond” categories. Led by Stone Harbor Investment Partners, a team with three decades of experience in emerging markets debt, the fund plays a vital role for investors and institutions seeking diversification away from developed markets and aiming for higher income potential within global fixed income portfolios.
