1 Reasons why: Emerging market (EM) corporate bonds February 2017 Low yield in developed market bonds can pose a significant challenge for fixed-income investors. This has forced many investors to move down the credit curve and seek out riskier opportunities such as U.S. high yield in the search of yield. Are there any other alternatives that can offer high income with relatively low risk and volatility? We think emerging-market (EM) corporate bonds may provide one such opportunity - strong risk-adjusted returns with no foreign exchange risk, high creditworthiness, low duration and low correlations with U.S. Treasuries. Let s look more into the benefits of this asset class.
2 1 It s a large diversified asset class Emerging-market corporates is a mainstream asset class at over $1.8 trillion, roughly 20% larger than U.S. high yield, as of ember 31, With size comes diversification,* and there are over 700 issuers to invest in.

Standard & Poor s credit ratings express the agency s opinion about the ability and willingness of an issuer, such as a corporation or state or city government, to meet its financial obligations in full and on time. Typically, ratings are expressed as letter grades that range, for example, from AAA to D to communicate the agency s opinion of relative level of credit risk. Ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories. * Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market.

Forecasts are offered as opinion and are not reflective of potential performance, are not guaranteed and actual events or results may differ materially. 4 Defensive characteristics Over the last years, there have been only two years where the EM corporate index has had negative returns: the global financial crisis in 2008 and the taper tantrum in 20. The defensive characteristics of this asset class can be seen under two different sources of stress: What happens when rates sell off? The 20 taper tantrum What happens when commodities sell off? The 20 drop in commodity prices 10 year U.S. Treasury yield (%) Mar Jun Sep EM Corporates -0.60% Duration: 5.10 years US Aggregate -1.53% Duration: 6.75 years EM HC Sovereign -5.25% Duration: 6.73 years Brent Crude ($/barrel) Jun Sep Mar Jun Sep EM Corporates Oil & Gas -3.% US HY Oil & Gas % EM oil & gas companies are predominantly large, integrated and investment grade.

6 IMPORTANT INFORMATION PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT AN INDICATION OF FUTURE RESULTS Fixed income securities are subject to certain risks including, but not limited to: interest rate (changes in interest rates may cause a decline in the market value of an investment), credit (changes in the financial condition of the issuer, borrower, counterparty, or underlying collateral), prepayment (debt issuers may repay or refinance their loans or obligations earlier than anticipated), and extension (principal repayments may not occur as quickly as anticipated, causing the expected maturity of a security to increase). Foreign securities are more volatile, harder to price and less liquid than U.S. securities. They are subject to different accounting and regulatory standards, and political and economic risks. These risks may be enhanced in emerging markets countries. Asset-backed and mortgage backed securities are subject to additional risks, such as prepayment and extension risks. Derivatives entail risks relating to liquidity, leverage and credit that may reduce returns and increase volatility.
