Fund Overview
Summary
A flexible, risk-managed approach to emerging market investing
With rapidly growing emerging markets now representing roughly one-third of global economic activity, many investors seeking growth and diversification are considering this robust market segment. Of course, emerging markets are complex, which makes it a challenge to allocate among investable asset classes while managing potential risks and opportunities. AllianzGI Dynamic Emerging Multi-Asset Fund seeks to address these concerns by providing access to the high growth potential of emerging markets in a single, active, risk-managed solution.
Why invest in this fund?
Diversified access to emerging markets
The fund seeks to provide long-term investors with diversified access to the growth potential of emerging markets through a flexible, multi-asset-based approach. Its initial base allocation will consist of 45% emerging market stocks, 45% emerging market bonds and 10% commodities. To invest in these asset classes in the most efficient way, the fund will use a combination of individual securities, other funds or derivatives. Of course, diversification cannot ensure a profit or protect against a loss.
Dynamic and unconstrained approach
To take advantage of constantly changing market conditions, the fund will actively deviate from its initial base allocation based on the manager’s analysis of economic and market cycles. With the flexibility to invest up to 100% in emerging market stocks, emerging market bonds or cash, the managers can put their analysis into action with limited constraints.
Focus on downside risk management
Emerging market stocks have had a history of volatility that may concern some investors. To help mitigate these concerns, the fund broadens its investment universe to include bonds and commodities, and takes a dynamic, multi-asset approach to active asset allocation. The fund also goes a step further and uses an explicit risk-management strategy that seeks to limit losses during steep market drops. The managers measure the fund’s overall risk profile in connection with its exposure to each asset class, and adjust the fund’s allocations accordingly. In times of market stress, the managers may shift exposure away from certain asset classes and move defensively into cash or equivalents.
