        Why Invest in Asian Local Currency Bonds?

        Favourable Risk-Return Profile

        The macro fundamentals of many Asian governments remain robust, and they will likely continue to be a growth driver of the global economy. Investors, therefore, have an opportunity to obtain a good yield without taking on excessive risk. In fact, Asian bonds have historically demonstrated a risk-return profile that is proportional to that of US Treasuries.

        Potential for Additional Yield via Local Currency Appreciation

        We expect local currency exposure to diversify returns, with the opportunity for appreciation moving forward. 

        A 'Back to Basics' Diversified Portfolio Construction Strategy

        In an increasingly interconnected world, correlations between Asian local currency bonds and other major asset classes have inevitably risen. Still, they remain low enough to allow such assets to add valuable diversification benefits to investors' portfolios.

        All forms of investments carry risks, including the risk of losing all of the invested amount. Such activities may not be suitable for everyone.

        The information provided does not constitute investment advice and it should not be relied on as such. It should not be considered a solicitation to buy or an offer to sell a security. It does not take into account any investor's particular investment objectives, strategies, tax status or investment horizon. You should consult your tax and financial advisor.

        Bonds generally present less short-term risk and volatility than stocks, but contain interest rate risk (as interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall); issuer default risk; issuer credit risk; liquidity risk; and inflation risk. These effects are usually pronounced for longer-term securities. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to a substantial gain or loss.

        Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss.

        ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETFs net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns. Frequent trading of ETF's could significantly increase commissions and other costs such that they may offset any savings from low fees or costs. 

        The investment objective of PAIF is to provide investment results that closely correspond to the performance of its benchmark index. The primary driver of investment decisions is the objective of generating returns to meet the investment objective. Climate change analysis does not form part of the security selection process and climate-related risk is not a factor applicable to PAIF being able to meet its investment objective.
