I-AM - Vision Microfinance Local Currency - I-USD (T)

The fund aims to provide investors with exposure to fixed-income investments, primarily in the form of direct loans to microfinance institutions in developing and emerging countries. This supports microentrepreneurs in establishing or expanding their small businesses, ultimately contributing to sustainable economic growth in these regions.

The fund is geographically focused on Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa. It offers a low degree of correlation with traditional asset classes, allowing for portfolio stabilization. The active portfolio management and flexible orientation provide an attractive opportunity/risk profile for investors seeking growth prospects in international financial markets.

Investing in the fund entails risks such as price, interest-rate, currency, and issuer risks. Additionally, there is a risk of decreased share class value due to borrower/MFI defaults. The use of derivative financial instruments can result in higher risks due to leverage, and incorrect investment decisions may occur despite active portfolio management efforts. Investors should be prepared for significant fluctuations in the value of their investment and a potential loss of capital, making it suitable for experienced investors with a minimum investment horizon of 5 years.
