data and fixed income—to invest in fixed income and currency instruments
primarily in emerging markets in Asia Pacific, Africa, Eastern Europe and Latin
America. Holdings include government bond and financial derivative instruments
referencing interest rates and currencies. As of September 30, the portfolio
had total assets of $393.6 million.
