Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Key contributors to (↑) and detractors from (↓) performance, relative to the J.P. Morgan EMB (JEMB) Hard Currency/Local Currency 50-50 Index (the Index):

 

↑ An out-of-index allocation to Nigerian naira helped performance due to continued reform momentum and reserve accumulation

↑ An out-of-index allocation to the Kazakhstani tenge boosted returns due to credible monetary policy that helped contain inflation and good fiscal discipline

↑ An out-of-index allocation to the Egyptian pound helped performance despite increased volatility from the conflict in Iran, as reform progress continued

↑ An overweight to Venezuelan credit helped returns as assets rallied ahead of President Maduro’s extraction and due to a focus on economic rebuilding policies

↓ An underweight to the Colombian peso detracted from performance as high interest rates continued to attract investors and election results were favorable

↓ An underweight to the Mexican peso detracted from performance as the currency rallied along with broader emerging market currencies

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Key contributors to (↑) and detractors from (↓) performance, relative to the J.P. Morgan EMB (JEMB) Hard Currency/Local Currency 50-50 Index (the Index):

 

↑ An out-of-index allocation to Nigerian naira helped performance due to continued reform momentum and reserve accumulation

↑ An out-of-index allocation to the Kazakhstani tenge boosted returns due to credible monetary policy that helped contain inflation and good fiscal discipline

↑ An out-of-index allocation to the Egyptian pound helped performance despite increased volatility from the conflict in Iran, as reform progress continued

↑ An overweight to Venezuelan credit helped returns as assets rallied ahead of President Maduro’s extraction and due to a focus on economic rebuilding policies

↓ An underweight to the Colombian peso detracted from performance as high interest rates continued to attract investors and election results were favorable

↓ An underweight to the Mexican peso detracted from performance as the currency rallied along with broader emerging market currencies
