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

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
