Emerging Markets Debt Local Currency Fund
Why Consider This Fund?
Approach
- Features a diversified portfolio of debt instruments, denominated in local currencies of emerging markets
- Combines rigorous bottom-up research with top-down analysis to better identify investment opportunities
- The Fund is classified as a financial product under Article 8 of the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation. The Fund promotes environmental or social characteristics but does not have a sustainable investment objective
Risk Considerations
- The value of shares and any income from them can increase or decrease and an investor may not get back the amount originally invested
- Where investments are made in currencies other than an investor’s base currency, the value of those investments will be affected (favourably or unfavourably) by movements in exchange rates
- Investing in the bond market is subject to certain risks including market, interest rate, issuer, credit, and inflation risk. These risks may be enhanced in below investment grade securities
- Emerging markets or less developed countries may face more political, economic or structural challenges than developed countries and investments in these countries are subject to greater risks
Awards
The awards were announced on November 10, 2025. Citywire selected winners through a three-step process combining quantitative and qualitative analysis. Its research team first compiled shortlists based on Citywire risk-adjusted performance data (for the three-year period ended June 30, 2025), followed by a survey of leading private bank fund selectors and external asset managers across the region, who voted for their top choices. Finally, Citywire combined this data with the detailed submissions from shortlisted fund groups to help determine the winners. William Blair Investment Management paid a fee to use the award logo and to attend the award ceremony.
