PCY

PCY targets a USD-denominated emerging market sovereign debt with at least 3 years to maturity. Its underlying index imposes additional liquidity and relative value screens, setting it apart from other USD-denominated funds. It selects one to three securities from each eligible emerging market, maintaining geographic diversity but favoring those with longer maturities, effectively bearing additional interest rate risk for higher yield. Weights of all countries with two or more bonds included in the index have an equal weight, countries with one bond are allocated half this weight. In sum, PCY delivers alternative exposure USD-denominated with relative value screens in a broad package. The Fund and the index are rebalanced and reconstituted quarterly.
