PIONEER INVESTMENTS LAUNCHES EMERGING MARKETS BOND
SHORT-TERM STRATEGY
- Designed to appeal to investors seeking protection from rising rates
- New strategy aiming to offer better income through shorter duration exposure
- Leveraging off Pioneer Investments’ award-winning Emerging Markets Bond
expertise
DUBLIN/LONDON, 11 JUNE 2015
Against a backdrop of rising interest rate expectations and a steepening yield curve, investors appear to be increasingly
allocating to strategies, which are less sensitive to and can offer better protection from a rising interest rate environment.
‘’Emerging Markets remain one of the most dynamic areas in the investable universe,’’ said Yerlan Syzdykov, Head of Emerging
Markets Bond and High Yield at Pioneer Investments, ‘’but the “Taper Tantrum” in May 2013 demonstrated the impact on
Emerging Markets Fixed Income as a result of U.S. interest rate expectations.’’
We believe a solution is to look to the short duration part of the market.
‘’Short Term Emerging Market Bonds are less sensitive to changes in both domestic and developed world interest rates ‘’ said
Syzdykov, ‘’and can provide investors with the yield from Emerging Markets with less of the volatility associated with longer
duration Emerging Market Bonds.’’
To satisfy this demand, Pioneer Investments has launched an Emerging Markets Bond Short-Term Strategy - the latest offering
in its award-winning range of Emerging Markets Fixed Income products. The launch is also a natural evolution in line with its
developed short-term fixed income offering, including Pioneer Investments’ Euro Corporate Short Term USD Short Term
strategies.
‘’The Short Term Emerging Markets universe can offer protection in a rising rate environment with the added incentive of
appealing yield’’, said Syzdykov. ‘’Furthermore,’’ he added, ‘’we believe that in the current market environment, Emerging
Markets Short Term Debt can offer better income versus other asset classes, with shorter duration’’. Emerging Market Short
Term offers a material spread pickup relative to other Fixed Income markets.
