About IGIEX

Ashmore Emerging Markets Debt Fund Class I is an institutional mutual fund focused on investing primarily in debt instruments issued by sovereign and quasi-sovereign entities of emerging market countries, as well as emerging market supra-nationals. The fund typically invests in hard-currency denominated bonds, especially those denominated in the U.S. dollar or currencies of G-7 nations, aiming to maximize income with a secondary goal of long-term capital appreciation. It maintains a diversified portfolio that may include local currency debt, corporate bonds, and special situations within emerging markets. The fund has no restrictions on the duration of individual securities and generally holds at least 80% of its assets in emerging market sovereign or quasi-sovereign debt. Managed by Ashmore Investment Advisors Limited, the fund is notable for its focus on external debt, which constitutes the majority of its holdings, and it follows the JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified index as its benchmark. The fund is designed to provide institutional investors access to emerging markets' fixed income opportunities while balancing income generation and capital growth.
