Allianz Global Investors has launched a new emerging markets fund for its Luxembourg-domiciled SICAV range.

The Allianz Emerging Markets Flexible Bond fund will invest across the full range of emerging markets debt instruments and is available through the Allianz Global Investors Funds platform.

The fund is managed by Greg Saichin, CIO of AllianzGI’s emerging markets debt business.

The fund is currently available to institutional investors in the UK and will be made available to retail investors later this year.

We firmly believe that strong economic-growth prospects, favourable demographics and markedly improving fundamentals mean that emerging markets debt (EMD) is set to perform over the longer-term, despite any liquidity risk from a rise in US interest rates or country-specific geo-political tensions,” said Saichin.
