It typically distributes income on a quarterly basis. Through its diversified holdings, the fund provides access to the emerging markets debt sector, offering exposure to a broad array of economies that can enhance yield and diversification within a larger fixed income portfolio. Since its inception in 2008, it has played a significant role for institutional investors seeking opportunities in global fixed income markets, particularly within the emerging markets segment.
