- What does PREMX invest in?
- This fund aims to allocate at least 80%—and potentially all—of its total capital (including any borrowed funds) to debt instruments. These investments will be in bonds issued by governments or companies located within emerging market economies. Its portfolio of debt typically comprises a mix of both sovereign bonds and corporate bonds. The fund's advisor includes frontier markets as a component of emerging markets, meaning any investments made in frontier markets will contribute towards the 80% allocation requirement. This is a non-diversified fund.

- What is the yield to maturity of PREMX?

PREMX's YTM is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website — it differs from the trailing-12-month yield because YTM reflects current bond prices rather than historical income paid.
