1 Employing a Differentiated Approach in an Evolving Market Pioneer Funds Emerging Markets Bond EM DESK VIEW Aiming to Generate Performance in an Evolving Asset Class Requires a Flexible Strategy We believe the expertise required to generate outperformance in Emerging Markets (EM) debt is shifting as the market diversifies from a Sovereign-driven universe to one driven by corporate credit. Strategies required to perform in Corporate Credit-driven EM demand distinct diligence versus those used to manage the narrower sovereign universe. Over the last 20 years, the asset class has moved from discounting a universe that reflected inefficient, fixed monetary policy to one driven by open markets, wider trade patterns and greater global market share. The result has been a proliferation of new issuance, with some issuers offering efficient capital management, appealing growth rates and attractive valuation. In our view, these deeper, less efficient markets offer opportunity. A widening diversity of issuers in a deepening market environment creates a challenge for a portfolio manager. With scale of coverage becoming an increasingly important component of capability, we have built a research team that complements our approach to portfolio construction. Simultaneously we have deployed supporting tools including risk measures, return projections, due diligence structures and collaboration. As the landscape in EM continues to evolve, we believe retaining flexibility will continue to allow us to exploit opportunities as they arise. The EM Universe: Evolving and Expanding The EM Fixed Income universe witnessed material growth and innovation following the 2008 banking crises. Spurred by lower Sovereign debt levels and higher macroeconomic growth rates, the segment saw a substantial market deepening. This latter feature has led to an increase in the range of available products and strategies offered by the asset management industry to the investing market. Market deepening also broadened investor diversity. While market deepening can result in lower volatility, it can also crowd smaller market segments. Theoretically, this should lead to new issuance. It is important to note that participation in EM is not limited to foreign investors. A key feature of financial market deepening in EM countries has been a rise in domestic insurance industries, which have targeted both local and global investment opportunities. Credit market issuance has grown by 170% since 2009 while Sovereigns have grown at a more modest 40%, thus the value of outstanding Credit now exceeds that of Sovereign debt. This expansion has occurred across the credit curve, where we have seen a consistent 70/30 split between Investment Grade and High Yield issuers. As segments increase in size, more specialised insight contributes to value creation.

2 As Credit has drawn domestic and international institutional interest, Sovereigns have experienced significantly greater volatility in retail flows. Despite a larger issuance trend and an overall larger market, retail investor flow has been much more stable in Credit. This implies a more stable underlying investor base.

By allowing dynamic reallocations when opportunities arise, and then seeking to protect capital when volatility increases and sentiment turns negative, a strategy can aim to produce a less correlated performance against the benchmark. 2 For Broker/Dealer Use Only and Not to be Distributed to the Public.
3 Key Conviction Positions Historically, investors viewed Sovereign bonds as a fair proxy of the EM investable universe. Given the developing trends within the sector, the market is recognising that this is an overly narrow view. An above average pace of new issuance has grown the investable pool of securities faster than the benchmark, leading to a shift in allocations away from the benchmark-defined universe. Pioneer Investment s team has been a leader in this regard, employing an aggregate approach since 2002, thereby evolving the process and allocations with market trends and expansions. This has led us into a number of high convictions and non-consensus positions. 01 OVERWEIGHTING CORPORATE CREDIT We believe that, in general, companies are more efficient allocators of capital than Sovereigns are. As such, we have built a structural exposure to Credit within our portfolio to profit from the associated spread and efficiency gains. We implement this in an active manner, where convictions reflect the ability of our analyst team to identify mispriced securities. 02 CONVICTION POSITIONS IN HIGH YIELD OVER INVESTMENT GRADE The Portfolio runs around a 10% overweight to High Yield. This in itself is not a significant deviation from key peers, where allocations to High Yield have materially increased over the past 18 months. The difference arises in the composition of the underlying exposure where we have chosen to exploit the Credit market. In contrast, key peers have concentrated their positions in the Sovereign space with holdings in higher spread countries, for example, the Ukraine and Venezuela. Our research process drives our positioning - our analysts are mandated with finding the most compelling investment cases. This has led us to favour High Yield Credit where we note the relative resilience of fundamentals (higher coverage ratio and lower gearing relative to other Credit markets) and significant technical support in the form of the underlying institutional investor base and deepening of the new issuance market. We believe this strategy is a more effective way to exploit the opportunity High Yield securities offer, particularly in the current environment. 03 DURATION OVERLAY AS A RISK MANAGEMENT TOOL AND ALPHA GENERATOR We actively deploy duration management both as a risk management tool and as an alpha generating strategy. The Portfolio runs a material short duration position relative to the index. This is a function of our belief that rates will gradually normalise upwards into a recovering global economy. This is a significant deviation from key peers where, on aggregate, they have positioned much closer to benchmark duration (circa 7 years). This view is predicated on our outlook for U.S. Treasury (UST) rates, which we believe are artificially low. This was a detractor from recent performance as the UST rallied. 04 COUNTRY COMPOSITION: EXPLOITING THE GROWTH DRIVERS The Portfolio runs a significant overweight position in both China and India, which is a notable deviation from key peers. While access to the Sovereign markets in these countries is restricted, we have chosen to invest in the Corporate Bond market to gain exposure to these leading Asian economies. We are constructive on reform policy agendas in both. In China, we note that growth is moderating, but we believe this process of rebalancing will lead to a more mature and sustainable economy, which will be supportive for debt servicing. In India, we see significant potential to expand and broaden the economy, which should lead to a continued deepening of financial markets and further liberalisation of the economy. 05 PORTFOLIO LIQUIDITY AND DEFENSIVENESS The Portfolio began to build a liquidity buffer in This was based on our expectation that we would see increased volatility in the market on the back of Federal Reserve tapering and a likely strengthening of the U.S. Dollar. This largely played out but other factors further complicated the outlook for EM, including Western sanctions on Russia and a significantly weaker oil price. These factors fuelled a large market selloff, particularly in the Corporate High Yield space. Retaining a cash buffer has shielded the Portfolio somewhat from this disruption but overall it cost relative performance. Cash is a very important portfolio management tool. We deploy this activity in a barbell strategy, where it is used to bolster liquidity against the High Yield Portfolio allocation. Using cash in this way allows us to implement decisions in a more efficient manner. 3 For Broker/Dealer Use Only and Not to be Distributed to the Public.

Pioneer Funds Emerging Market Bond: An Aggregate and Flexible Approach We have adopted a research-led, flexible investment approach to the management of this Portfolio. Performance is sometimes proposed as a function of skill and breadth of coverage; for this reason, we have built broad coverage and capability seeking to capitalise on semi-efficient and non-homogenous markets. We do not constrain our investment universe to an arbitrary set of benchmark instruments. Instead, we look across the widest possible investable universe in an effort to exploit pricing inefficiencies and capitalise on under-researched segments of the market. The Key Features of our Approach Alignment By seeking to align ourselves with the client s core interest, we are able to look broadly for returns. Capability We have grown our team to reflect the demands of an expanding EM universe. Research is the cornerstone of our philosophy. Eight Portfolio Managers and ten Credit Research Analysts drive the Portfolio positioning process, with analysts focusing on sector leadership.
