Objective
The Fund aims to achieve capital gains over a medium to long term time horizon whilst operating as an impact strategy.
Investment Overview
The Fund seeks to achieve the investment objective through:
(i) exposure to a diversified portfolio of emerging market and frontier currencies; funded via basket of developed market currencies
(ii) investment in bonds issued by MDBs and DFIs
Alongside financial returns, the Fund seeks to have positive impact by mobilising private capital for development of Emerging Market and Developing Economies (“EMDEs”). It offers currency hedging solutions in partnership with the development finance community to encourage local currency funding, whilst simultaneously financing key development projects through its investments in bond instruments issued by Multilateral Development Banks (“MDBs”) and other Development Finance Institutions (“DFIs”) with active operations in EMDE countries.
For the purposes of the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation the Fund has been categorised as an Article 8.
