Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Top Contributors to Performance

•Allocation to non-U.S. dollar securities was a contributor to performance over the year, driven by strong results from South African local securities.

•Exposure to convertible bonds added to excess returns, with select positions in the communications sector continuing to deliver positive impacts.

•High-yield corporate credit selection was another source of strength, led by names in communications along with finance companies.

 

Top Detractors from Performance

•Holdings of defensive, reserve-like positions were slight laggards throughout the year, as they did not keep up with the riskier asset classes.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Top Contributors to Performance

•Allocation to non-U.S. dollar securities was a contributor to performance over the year, driven by strong results from South African local securities.

•Exposure to convertible bonds added to excess returns, with select positions in the communications sector continuing to deliver positive impacts.

•High-yield corporate credit selection was another source of strength, led by names in communications along with finance companies.

 

Top Detractors from Performance

•Holdings of defensive, reserve-like positions were slight laggards throughout the year, as they did not keep up with the riskier asset classes.

Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Performance data shown represents past performance and is no guarantee of, and is not necessarily indicative of, future results. Total return and value will vary, and you may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. For the most recent month-end performance,

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Top Contributors to Performance

•Allocation to non-U.S. dollar securities was a contributor to performance over the year, driven by strong results from South African local securities.

•Exposure to convertible bonds added to excess returns, with select positions in the communications sector continuing to deliver positive impacts.

•High-yield corporate credit selection was another source of strength, led by names in communications along with finance companies.

 

Top Detractors from Performance

•Holdings of defensive, reserve-like positions were slight laggards throughout the year, as they did not keep up with the riskier asset classes.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Top Contributors to Performance

•Allocation to non-U.S. dollar securities was a contributor to performance over the year, driven by strong results from South African local securities.

•Our selection to investment grade corporate credits was a contributor, as select names in insurance and energy were beneficial.

•Exposure to convertible bonds added to excess returns, with select positions in the communications sector continuing to deliver positive impacts.

 

Top Detractors from Performance

•Our duration and yield curve positioning detracted from performance over the year.

•Holdings of defensive, reserve-like positions were slight laggards throughout the year, as they did not keep up with the riskier asset classes.

Credit ratings are by S&P Global Ratings. A credit rating is an assessment provided by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) of the creditworthiness of an issuer with respect to debt obligations except for those debt obligations that are only privately rated. Ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). The credit ratings shown relate to the creditworthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities in the Fund, and not to the Fund or its shares. Credit ratings are subject to change.
