TEMD invests at least 50% of its assets in US dollar- and euro-denominated sovereign and government-related debt issued by emerging market countries, with euro exposure generally hedged back to US dollars. Bond selection is based on market, economic, and political conditions. The fund may also invest in local-currency emerging market debt, frontier market securities, and emerging market currency-denominated obligations issued by supranational entities. These debts span the full credit spectrum, including high-yield, defaulted, and unrated debt, with no constraints on maturity or duration. Derivatives are used extensively, including currency forwards and options, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and credit default swaps for hedging, return enhancement, and to establish long or short exposures. The strategy aims to capture opportunities across global interest rates, sovereign credit, and currencies. Positions are sold when valuations peak or better opportunities arise.
