Placement based on three-year standard deviation as of May 31, 2009
Not all strategies are available in all products. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or eliminate the risk of loss. Standard deviation measures a fund’s range of total returns and identifies the spread of a fund’s short-term fluctuations.

Debt instruments issued by countries defined as emerging or developing by the World Bank1 or the United Nations as well as public and private companies located in those countries. By diversifying our strategy to many possible alpha sources (sovereigns, local currency debt and EM corporates), we seek to achieve balance and the ability to perform in all market environments.
Advantages include:
• Enhance current income: Typically produces 300 to 500 basis points of additional yield relative to U.S. Treasuries
• Flexible implementation: There are a vast number of securities and tools to implement Emerging Market Bond strategies
• Diversification: Emerging Market bonds have typically had low correlation to other fixed income asset classes
Risks include:• Political risk• Currency risk• Default/liquidity risk

Emerging Market Bonds Have Evolved Into a Strategic Asset Class
• Improvements in the Asset Class
— Increased diversification
— Improved credit ratings and instrument types
— Abandonment of fixed exchange rates
— Greater FX reserves
— Better quality of information
• Improvements in the Investor Base
— A broadening of investor base
— Less leverage and more buy and hold
• Shocks Appear to Have Toughened the Asset Class
— Emerging market bonds remained resilient in this volatile period relative to historical global recessions and time of economic uncertainty within emerging market countries

• 2010 returns to be more driven by bottom-up credit selection, less by top-down market direction (i.e. less beta and more alpha).
• EM fundamental and financial market outlooks remain robust.
• Smaller countries provide an attractive carry and tend to be less correlated to the broader market. We see opportunities in this area within Iraq, Pakistan, Dominican Republic, Tunisia, Sri Lanka.
• By Region- Large country opportunities:
Latin America: Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay
Europe: Russia and Kazakhstan
Asia - Middle East – Africa: Qatar, UAE, Egypt and Indonesia
