November 30, 2016 (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder,
The six month period ended November 30, 2016 was a good one for credit markets. The global credit markets continued the broad-based recovery that began in early 2016 triggered by an improving US economy, an accommodative US Federal Reserve (“Fed”), continued European Central Bank (“ECB”) monetary stimulus, and rising commodity prices. Investor support for credit markets was temporarily interrupted by two key events -- the surprise results of the UK referendum on European Union membership (“BREXIT”), which proved to be a source of short term volatility, and the US presidential election, which may have more lasting implications. For investors, the search for yield remained a focal point in the abnormally low interest rate environment and consequently, lower quality credits outperformed high quality credits.
One of the key factors impacting credit markets over the six month period was interest rate volatility. From historically low levels of 1.36% in July, the US Treasury 10 year bond yield ended the period at 2.38%. Developed market monetary policy was an investor focus as central banks continued to be extremely accommodative. Following the election of Donald Trump, attention shifted to the likely path of US fiscal policy and its implications for US growth. Investors also focused on Trump’s protectionist campaign rhetoric to conclude that emerging markets would be disadvantaged by policies that curtail international trade. These factors impacted market returns negatively during November, but that short term volatility has declined and credit markets have rebounded after the close of the six month period.
As we look ahead to the next six months, we expect the markets will be keenly focused on the policies of the Trump administration, particularly on potential trade restrictions and the implementation of fiscal stimulus and tax cuts. These policies will have direct impact on the level of US growth, the strength of the USD, the level of interest rates, and the path of commodities prices. We expect that credit markets will deal with periods of short term volatility in upcoming months as details of these policies begin to emerge.
At Stone Harbor Investment Partners LP (“Stone Harbor”), we will continue to focus on seeking to capture excess return from stable and improving credit situations in corporate and sovereign markets worldwide. As we continue to monitor these developments, please follow our progress throughout the year by visiting our website at www.shiplp.com. There you will find updates on our view of credit markets, as well as related news and research. We appreciate the confidence you have placed in Stone Harbor and look forward to providing you with another update in the next six months.
Market Review: Emerging Markets Debt
Emerging market (“EM”) debt total returns were positive in aggregate for the reporting period. U.S. dollar-denominated sovereign debt, as represented by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified (“JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified”), returned 1.87%. Local currency debt, as represented by the J.P. Morgan Global Bond Index – Emerging Markets Global Diversified (“JP Morgan GBI EM Global Diversified”), posted a return of 0.23% US dollar-denominated corporate bonds were up 2.73%, according to the J.P. Morgan Corporate Emerging Market Bond Index – Broad Diversified (“JP Morgan CEMBI Broad Diversified”).
In our view, several factors supported emerging market debt performance, particularly prior to October. A pickup in economic activity in several large emerging market countries has allowed emerging markets (“EM”) growth to outpace developed country growth for the first time since 2010. The EM-developed markets growth differential is, in our view, the most important driver of long term returns in EM debt. Better performance of the Chinese economy, compared to last year and recovery from recessions in Argentina, Brazil and Russia have contributed to this cyclical growth rebound.
Political change has also been a strong tailwind for emerging markets in this period, particularly in Latin America. As an example, Brazil’s legislators impeached President Dilma Rousseff in August allowing for significant leadership changes, which we believe have led to improved policy-making at the Central Bank and at the Ministry of Finance. Efforts to improve Argentina’s relationship with creditors by the new administration of President Mauricio Macri have paid dividends in providing the country with deep access to capital to finance new growth-oriented policies.
Finally, higher commodity prices, partly as a consequence of China’s economic resilience and also due to efforts by oil producing countries to reduce production levels, have provided broad support for many EM exporters’ fiscal revenues. Together, each of these factors, combined with the higher yield levels on debt from EMs relative to developed markets, have led to positive returns on EM debt during the period.
Nevertheless, EM debt returns confronted turbulence both before and after the US presidential election. All three sectors of the market – sovereign, corporate and local currency – posted negative returns in October and November. Three areas of uncertainty played central roles in this result: the potential of a stronger US dollar, higher core interest rates and future US trade policies that may reflect the protectionist language that Donald Trump used in his campaign. As of this writing, we expect market volatility to continue until US trade policies become clearer and maintain a constructive view on the economic and political outlooks of many EM countries.

Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Debt Fund
The total return of the Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Debt Fund (the “Fund” or “portfolio”) for the 6 month period ended November 30, 2016 was 2.99% (net of expenses) and 3.34% (gross of expenses). This performance compares to a benchmark return of 1.87% for the JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified. For the period, external sovereign bond credit spreads over comparable maturity US Treasury securities tightened by 36 basis points, ending the period at 361 basis points.
The Fund outperformed its benchmark primarily as a result of country selection and issue selection decisions. Treasury attribution also enhanced performance during the period. The largest positive contributors to relative performance included an overweight and issue selection in El Salvador, and underweights in Lebanon and the Philippines. In El Salvador, hard currency bonds benefitted from expectations for a new Standby Agreement with the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) in the early part of the review period. We added Lebanon in August and moved from an underweight to neutral relative to benchmark after a sharp sell-off in Lebanese bonds. Our underweight in the Philippines was a positive contributor as low beta credits underperformed, particularly during the third quarter 2016.
Other positive contributors included overweights in Azerbaijan, Ghana, Indonesia, and Venezuela and exposure to oil-related, off benchmark hard currency corporate debt. In each case, country returns were supported by the stabilization and rise of international oil prices. The Fund also held underweight exposure in several Asia bond markets, including China, Malaysia, and the Philippines. This positioning enhanced relative performance as these low-beta credits underperformed the benchmark.
The top detractors from performance included overweights in Argentina and Mexico, and issue selection in Venezuela. Mexican bonds had one of the lowest country returns for the period amid uncertainties surrounding US trade policies. We maintained the overweight based on our view that Mexico’s growth-oriented policies and institutional strength will support credit spread compression over time. Our overweight in Argentina reflected our view that the country’s investments in infrastructure, agriculture, and energy will lead to a rebound in economic activity. We also expect an ongoing tax amnesty to return capital to the country, which now has access to global bond markets for new financing. The total return of Venezuela’s sub index was 31.8% during the period. The main driver of this performance was a bond exchange that allowed Petroleos de Venezuela, SA to extend its maturity schedule, which reduced the near-term default risk of the company and led to strong performance of short-dated bonds. While we continue to believe that Venezuela has the willingness and ability to repay its debts, its cash flows are tight and we have preferred to hold most of our position in lower dollar-priced, longer duration bonds.
Another detractor from performance was an underweight and issue selection in Kazakhstan. The Fund’s underweight positioning detracted from performance as oil prices rallied particularly during the third quarter. Underweights in Peru and South Africa also detracted from relative returns.
The largest relative exposure changes during the review period included adding to the Fund’s positions in Argentina and Brazil, where we see country credit developments supported by attractive valuations. In Brazil, we believe the impeachment in August of former President Dilma Rousseff has reduced political risks and improved chances for fiscal reform. We also believe rising consumer and business confidence is indicative of a recovery ahead. On the other hand, we reduced positions in El Salvador, Kazakhstan, and Zambia. At the end of the period, the Fund’s sensitivity to US Treasury interest rate movements was lower than that of the Fund’s benchmark.
The Fund uses various derivative instruments to implement its strategies. These derivatives are utilized to manage the Fund’s credit risk, interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk, as well as to more efficiently gain exposure to certain positions. These derivative positions may increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to these risks. At the end of the reporting period the Fund had net exposure to these derivatives of approximately $24 thousand. Over the course of the reporting period these derivative positions generated a net realized gain of approximately $3.3 million and $5.5 million in unrealized appreciation for an increase in operations of $8.8 million.
Stone Harbor Local Markets Fund
The total return of the Stone Harbor Local Markets Fund (the “Fund” or “portfolio”) for the 6 month period ended November 31, 2016 was -0.26% (net of expenses) and 0.18% (gross of expenses). This performance compares to a benchmark return of 0.23% for the GBI-EM Global Diversified. Duration positioning and issue selection decisions accounted for the underperformance. The top performers for the period at the index level were South Africa (+19.49), Brazil (+16.32) and Colombia (+8.46); the bottom performers were Nigeria (-38.41%), Turkey (-13.25%), and Mexico (-12.32%).
The largest source of the Fund’s underperformance was our positioning in Mexico, where we held overweights in the peso and in duration. While our fundamental analysis lead us to believe that the Mexican peso is a highly undervalued currency, external circumstances related to economic growth in the US, as well as the uncertainty regarding the trade policies of the next US president, have continued to exert a negative influence in the Mexican currency, causing it to be one of the bottom performers for the review period.

Other detractors included our positioning in Poland and Indonesia. Though we reduced exposure to the Polish zloty over the review period, we maintained a currency overweight on average to partially offset our underweight in the Hungarian forint. This positioning underperformed as the euro rallied by nearly 5% relative to the US dollar. Our overweight in Polish duration also detracted from relative performance. While the performances of our duration and foreign exchange (“FX”) overweights in Indonesia offset each other, local taxes and other friction costs were the primary drivers of underperformance in the country.
Nevertheless, several positions enhanced excess returns. An overweight position in Brazil’s local currency markets was the largest positive contributor to performance as Brazil’s real and local bonds benefitted from improved policy-making under a new administration. FX underweights in Hungary and Turkey also contributed positively to performance. In Hungary, weakness of the euro led to depreciation of the forint. The Turkish lira declined and remained weak following a failed coup attempt and the subsequent concentration of power with Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Rating agencies downgraded Turkey’s credit rating to below investment grade during the period. Finally, FX overweights in Argentina, Colombia, Indonesia, Russia, and South Africa were positive for Fund performance.
The Fund uses various derivative instruments to implement its strategies. These derivatives are utilized to manage the Fund’s credit risk, interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk, as well as to more efficiently gain exposure to certain positions. These derivative positions may increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to these risks. At the end of the reporting period the Fund had net exposure to these derivatives of approximately ($928) thousand. Over the course of the reporting period these derivative positions generated a net realized loss of approximately $16 million and $2.8 million in unrealized appreciation, for a decrease in operations of $13.2 million.
Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund
The total return of the Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund (the “Fund” or “portfolio”) for the 6 month period ended November 30, 2016 was 2.34% (net of expenses) and 2.84% (gross of expenses). This performance compares to a benchmark return of 2.73% for the JP Morgan CEMBI Broad Diversified. The index spread over comparable maturity US Treasury securities tightened by 64 basis points, ending the period at 326 basis points. The high yield sub-sector outperformed, returning 5.77%, while the investment grade sector returned 0.86%. Contributions to the index total return from each of the major EM regions (i.e., Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East) were positive with Africa and Latin American generating the strongest returns, followed by Europe. Specific top country performers included Zambia (+26.46%), Ghana (+15.54%), and Brazil (+11.66%); the bottom performers included Czech Republic (-2.48%), Turkey (-1.04%), and South Korea (-0.53%). The positive performance of the EM corporate sector was driven primarily by improving commodity prices and several positive company developments.
The Fund outperformed its benchmark due to both issue selection decisions and country and regional exposures. From a regional perspective, corporate credits from Latin America and Asia positively impacted relative performance. Overweight exposures and issue selection in Colombia, Mexico, and Peru, as well as positive issue selection in Chile were the top contributors to performance in Latin America. In Asia, positive issue selection in India, Malaysia, and Thailand enhanced relative performance, as did an overweight exposure in Indonesia and an underweight to South Korea. In Indonesia, the Fund’s country overweight contributed to excess returns led by strong performances of energy and mining companies, during the third quarter, while issue selection detracted. The Fund’s positioning in India also enhanced relative returns from positive credit selection.
In Central Europe, Middle East, Africa region, an overweight exposure and positive issue selection in Kazakhstan, and an underweight exposure and issue selection in Israel, enhanced performance. The Fund’s exposure to corporate debt in Kazakhstan enhanced relative returns as oil rallied on renewed optimism surrounding the September meeting of oil exporting nations in Algiers. From an industry perspective, issue selection in the Wireless Telecommunications and Wirelines sector enhanced relative returns, as well as overweight exposures to Exploration & Production and Metals/Mining/Steel industries. An underweight exposure to Banking was also a positive contributor to excess returns.
The largest detractors from performance included an underweight exposure (for partial period) and issue selection in Brazil and issue selection in Indonesia. Brazilian corporates performed well during the period, supported by strong performance from Petrobras securities, which benefited from the company’s tender offer for several of its shorter maturity bonds at the start of the period. And as Brazilian corporates continued to be one of the top contributors to the index’s overall return throughout much of the period, the Fund’s positioning detracted from relative returns. Issue selection in Russia and Turkey also detracted from relative returns. In Russia, while the Fund’s overweight exposure to Russian corporates enhanced returns, the decision to limit exposure to Russia’s sanctioned banking sector detracted from excess returns. Issue selection in the Indonesian banking sector also detracted from returns. In terms of the Fund’s exposure in Turkey, while issue selection detracted, an underweight enhanced relative returns on the back of credit ratings downgrades in both the sovereign debt and local currency debt markets. Turkish banks continued to suffer at the end of the period as concerns over the weakness of the lira, which depreciated by over 13% relative to the US dollar in November, outweighed the positive impact of steeper yield curves and the Turkish banking sector’s management of foreign liabilities. Issue selection in Banking and Metals/Mining/Steel and overweights in Wireless and Wireline detracted from performance during the period.

At the end of the reporting period, the Fund was overweight Latin America and underweight Asia, Europe, Middle East, and Africa based on our relative value assessment. While we reduced exposure in Latin America and particularly in Brazil during much of the period, we reversed this position to a marginal overweight position by the end of the period. At the same time, we added exposure in some of the countries where we have held underweights, increasing active risks in China and India among other smaller position changes in smaller countries. After reducing risk prior to the US election, we are looking for tactical relative value opportunities as certain credits are repricing beyond the fundamental changes in the outlook, in our view. Our medium-term outlook remains constructive given the adjustment in valuations and our positive fundamental outlook.
The Fund uses various derivative instruments to implement its strategies. These derivatives are utilized to manage the Fund’s credit risk, interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk, as well as to more efficiently gain exposure to certain positions. These derivative positions may increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to these risks. At the end of the reporting period the Fund had net exposure to these derivatives of approximately ($5) thousand. Over the course of the reporting period these derivative positions generated a net realized gain of approximately $46 thousand and $9 thousand in unrealized depreciation, for an increase in operations of $37 thousand.
Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Debt Allocation Fund
The Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Debt Allocation Fund’s (the “Fund” or “portfolio”) performance for the 6 month period ended November 30, 2016 was 0.90% (net of expenses) and 1.33% (gross of expenses). This compares to a blended benchmark (50% JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified / 50% JP Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified) return of 1.07%. At the close of the reporting period, the Fund allocated approximately 52.2% to local currency debt, 43.4% to external sovereign debt, and 2.5% to hard currency corporate debt, with cash representing 1.9% of the Fund. The Fund’s asset allocation mix varied throughout the review period, driven by tactical asset allocation decisions based on portfolio management’s assessment of relative value opportunities and global market risks. In August and September, we shifted the sector allocation to a small overweight in local currency, adding selectively through currency exposure in several countries where we saw attractive valuations and carry within the low interest rate environment. The Fund remained overweight local currency and interest rate exposure relative to benchmark throughout the remainder of the review period. Tactical asset allocation decisions detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to benchmark.
During the period, the hard currency sovereign debt allocation enhanced returns, while the portfolio’s local currency debt allocation detracted from excess returns. Out-of-benchmark allocations to US dollar-denominated corporate debt, particularly in Latin America, enhanced relative performance. US Treasury attribution, a measure that accounts for returns not already detailed, and miscellaneous differences, which represent pricing differences among other factors, also enhanced relative returns.
Within the hard currency sovereign debt allocation, an overweight and issue selection in El Salvador, and underweights in Lebanon and the Philippines were the largest positive contributors to relative performance. In El Salvador, hard currency bonds benefitted from expectations for a new Standby Agreement with the IMF in the early part of the review period. We added Lebanon in August and moved from an underweight to neutral relative to benchmark after a sharp sell-off in Lebanese bonds. Our underweight in the Philippines was a positive contributor as low beta credits underperformed, particularly during the third quarter 2016.
Other positive contributors included overweights in Azerbaijan, Ghana, and Venezuela. In each case, country returns were supported by the stabilization and rise of international oil prices. The Fund also held underweight exposure in several Asia bond markets, including China, Malaysia, and the Philippines. This positioning enhanced relative performance as these low-beta credits underperformed the benchmark. Issue selection decisions in Argentina, Indonesia, South Africa, and Sri Lanka also enhanced relative returns.
The top detractors from performance included overweights in Argentina and Mexico, and issue selection in Venezuela. Mexican bonds had one of the lowest country returns for the period amid uncertainties surrounding US trade policies. We maintained the overweight based on our view that Mexico’s growth-oriented policies and institutional strength will support credit spread compression over time. Our overweight in Argentina reflected our view that the country’s investments in infrastructure, agriculture, and energy will lead to a rebound in economic activity. We also expect an ongoing tax amnesty to return capital to the country, which now has access to global bond markets for new financing. The total return of Venezuela’s sub index was 31.8% during the period. The main driver of this performance was a bond exchange that allowed Petroleos de Venezuela, SA to extend its maturity schedule, which reduced the near-term default risk of the company and led to strong performance of short-dated bonds. While we continue to believe that Venezuela has the willingness and ability to repay its debts, its cash flows are tight and we have preferred to hold most of our position in lower dollar-priced, longer duration bonds.
Another detractor from performance was an underweight and issue selection in Kazakhstan. The Fund’s underweight positioning detracted from performance as oil prices rallied particularly during the third quarter. Underweights in Peru and South Africa also detracted from relative returns.

Within the local currency debt allocation, an overweight position in Brazil’s local currency markets was the largest positive contributor to performance as Brazil’s real and local bonds benefitted from improved policy-making under a new administration. FX underweights in Hungary and Turkey also contributed positively to performance. In Hungary, weakness of the Euro led to depreciation of the Forint.

An underweight in the South African rand also detracted from performance, as did issue selection in Hungarian forint and the Turkish lira.

These derivatives are utilized to manage the Fund’s credit risk, interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk, as well as to more efficiently gain exposure to certain positions. These derivative positions may increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to these risks. At the end of the reporting period the Fund did not have exposure to these derivatives. Over the course of the reporting period these derivative positions generated a net realized loss of approximately $196 thousand and $21 thousand in unrealized appreciation, for an decrease in operations of $175 thousand.
Stone Harbor High Yield Bond Fund
The Stone Harbor High Yield Bond Fund (the “Fund” or “portfolio”) return for the 6 months ended November 30, 2016 was 4.69% (net of expenses) and 5.02% (gross of expenses). This compares to a benchmark return of 6.53% for the Citigroup High Yield Market Capped Index.
During the period, high yield market performance was driven by rising commodity prices, accommodative global monetary policies, and the result of the US presidential and congressional elections. Despite periods of oil price volatility, the commodities sectors performed well on signs of improving global growth, combined with expectations of a cut in Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) production. For investors, the search for yield continued in the negative interest rate environment, spurred by ongoing accommodative central bank policies globally. The US elections resulted in one party control of the Legislative and the Executive branches of government, which allows greater possibility that policy changes could be enacted. Therefore by the end of the period, Treasury yields increased as the market participants readjusted their views on US economic growth, higher inflation and the pace of Federal Reserve hikes.
High yield issuance increased from the same period last year. Refinancing was the primary use of proceeds. Although retail flows were negative for the period, they were substantially better than the prior year period. Increased allocations from insurance companies, institutional investors, and asset allocation portfolios put upward technical pressure on the market throughout the period. High yield spreads, as represented by the Citigroup High Yield Market Capped Index, tightened 114 basis points to end the period at 483 basis points. The average yield declined from 7.28% to 6.63%.
Top performing sectors for the period included Metals/Mining/Steel, which benefitted from an increase in commodity prices and Energy, as oil prices stabilized. The bottom performers included Pharmaceuticals, due to investigations regarding the pricing of drugs, and Healthcare, driven by the potential for the repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act. These were also the only two sectors with negative returns for the period. Positive market technicals and higher investor risk appetite drove CCC-rated bonds to significantly outperform both BB-rated and B-rated securities, according to the Citigroup High Yield Market Capped Index. Longer duration securities outperformed shorter duration bonds.
The Fund underperformed the benchmark for the six month period due to negative industry and issue attribution. Our decision to defensively position the portfolio, including the decision to underweight the Energy and Metals/Mining/Steel industry segments of the market, detracted from relative performance. This was modestly offset by underweights to the Banking and Services industries and an overweight to the Telecommunications industry. Our defensive positioning through the portfolio’s exposure to the bank loans sector and cash also detracted from performance.
From a credit quality perspective, the Fund’s higher quality bias hurt performance as the portfolio was underweight the CCC-rated sector. Our positioning in the Utilities sector and higher quality holdings in the Chemicals sector also detracted from relative returns as lower rated issuers significantly outperformed. This performance was partially offset by positive security selection in the Energy sector.

Recent election results could lead to potential changes in U.S. policy that could have implications for the global economy, the U.S. markets and many industries. For many high yield issuers, these developments as well as OPEC’s altered view on production cuts, could extend the credit cycle. Access to capital is plentiful, especially with the acceleration in the equity market. We remain cautious regarding the outlook for high yield as much of the potential positives appear to be reflected in the market at current valuations. However, we understand that for some industry sectors and for highly leveraged corporate issuers, large changes in policy, if enacted, could be very meaningful.
During the period, we decreased our exposure to leveraged loans and reduced our underweight in the BB sector. On the other hand, we continue to be overweight B-rated bonds due to attractive valuations. Our industry overweights included Building Products, Cable/Media, and Telecommunications, while our underweights included Finance, Services, and Energy sectors at period end.
The Fund uses various derivative instruments to implement its strategies, as well as to more efficiently gain exposure to certain positions. These derivatives are utilized to manage the Fund’s credit risk, interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. These derivative positions may increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to these risks. At the end of the reporting period the Fund had net exposure to these derivatives of approximately $5 thousand. Over the course of the reporting period these derivative positions generated a net realized gain of approximately $405 thousand and $93 thousand in unrealized depreciation, for an increase in operations of $312 thousand.
Stone Harbor Investment Grade Fund
The total return of the Stone Harbor Investment Grade Fund (the “Fund” or “portfolio”) for the 6 months ended November 30, 2016 was -0.59% (net of expenses) and -0.34% (gross of expenses). This performance compares to a benchmark return of -0.92% for the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Index. The Fund’s outperformance is primarily attributable to sector weighting and security selection decisions in investment grade corporate and government bonds. Asset allocation effects accounted for approximately half of the outperformance, with an overweight to corporates and an underweight to Governments serving as the primary driver. The remaining excess returns were attributable to investment grade corporate security selection, particularly within the energy sector.
The past six months was marked by two startling political surprises; these two events, were they to occur, were forecast to cause turmoil in the markets. Both surprises occurred, but did not cause market turmoil.
In late June, the British voted to exit the EU to the surprise of both commentators and combatants alike. A vote to leave, however, is not the same as leaving and it soon became apparent that those who had argued to leave did not have an immediately implementable plan. It became evident that triggering leaving negotiations would take some time (now expected in late March 2017) and that the two year period subsequent to that was likely to be fully utilised in order to finalize the terms of exit. While we believe this uncertainty is likely to prove destabilizing for investment plans, the lack of any change in circumstances for some meant that business would largely carry on as before. With this in mind, the markets shifted from a very brief stage of caution back to a focus on improving growth fundamentals.
Global measures of economic surprises had picked up in March but in many respects had largely gone unnoticed by markets more intent on focusing on political concern. US 10-year yields reached their low of the year just a few days after the referendum vote. By the time of the referendum vote economic surprise indices had turned positive in the Eurozone, the UK and Japan. Through July US data also took a resounding turn for the better with economic surprise indices turning positive. Credit markets responded positively and built on their gains between February and April but at a measured pace. US Treasury yields started to rise but by the end of November had still only risen to levels seen in late May.
November saw the surprise election of Donald Trump to the US Presidency. Markets’ fears prior to the election had focused on concerns that trade issues might constrain global growth. However, with the success of the Republicans in both houses, market focus turned to the potential of a fiscal boost (infrastructure and military spending increases combined with tax cuts) with many commentators pushing growth forecasts for 2017 and 2018 higher. At the same juncture, renewed strength in the US labor markets became evident and pointed to the likelihood of a rise in the Federal Funds rate in early December. Ten-year US Yields rose sharply ending November at 2.39% compared to 1.84% at end May. Over the same six months, US investment Grade Corporate spreads tightened 20 bps, US High Yield Corporate spreads tightened 111 bps and EMD tightened 23 bps. EM local currency bonds markets were broadly flat in USD terms over the same period.
Looking forward, we believe the key issue for the Treasury market is likely to be the extent to which the Federal Reserve does or does not deliver further interest rate hikes in 2017. The market is priced consistent with between one and two hikes. For the Federal Reserve to push beyond this it would likely need to see further labor market tightening, in our view. Current economic momentum is positive but we think the Fed is likely to move slowly unless the economy accelerates or it becomes clear that fiscal policy will become significantly more supportive of the economy.

Credit spreads appear to be on the tighter side of fair value but not necessarily excessively so. On a positive note, we expect deregulation may lead to renewed bouts of credit supportive Merger & Acquisition (“M&A”) activity. We also believe fiscal expansion and especially lower corporation taxes may be positive. Against this, we think trade tensions and potential tax reform may create greater disparity between winners and losers. As ever, rising Treasury yields should give rise to some caution. Overall, we remain modestly biased towards caution.
Across asset classes we see a potential for out-performance in EM following a period of noticeable underperformance. Expectations of a domestic fiscal boost are high as are fears of an imminent trade war. A little like Brexit, we think the outcome is likely to be somewhat more prosaic than currently expected. The domestic political agenda will have to pass through deficit hawks and we believe threats of trade sanctions are likely, in reality, precursors to renewed trade discussions in the near term. This should provide an opportunity for markets to increasingly reconcile the outlook for EM with a broadly stronger global growth environment, in our view.
The Fund uses various derivative instruments to implement its strategies. These derivatives are utilized to manage the Fund’s credit risk, interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk, as well as to more efficiently gain exposure to certain positions. These derivative positions may increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to these risks. At the end of the reporting period the Fund did not have exposure to these derivatives.
Stone Harbor Strategic Income Fund
The total return of the Strategic Income Fund (the “Fund” or “portfolio”) for the 6 month period ending November 30, 2016 was 2.28% (net of expenses) and 2.63% (gross of expenses). This performance compares to a benchmark return of 1.47% for the Bloomberg Barclays Global Credit Index (Hedged into USD). The Fund outperformed its benchmark as a result of certain asset allocation, duration and individual credit decisions. During the period the Fund was overweight both the High Yield and Emerging Debt sectors relative to the index, which drove a significant portion of the positive contribution from asset allocation. The Fund also maintained short duration positions in both the US and non-US developed markets during the six month period which contributed negatively. Within individual portfolio sectors, The Fund experienced outperformance in Investment Grade, Global Rates & Currencies, and Emerging Debt while underperforming within the High Yield component.
The past six months was marked by two startling political surprises; these two events, were they to occur, were forecast to cause turmoil in the markets. Both surprises occurred, but did not cause market turmoil.
In late June, the British voted to exit the EU to the surprise of both commentators and combatants alike. A vote to leave, however, is not the same as leaving and it soon became apparent that those who had argued to leave did not have an immediately implementable plan. It became evident that triggering leaving negotiations would take some time (now expected in late March 2017) and that the two year period subsequent to that was likely to be fully utilized in order to finalize the terms of exit. While we believe this uncertainty is likely to prove destabilizing for investment plans, the lack of any change in circumstances for some meant that business would largely carry on as before. With this in mind, the markets shifted from a very brief stage of caution back to a focus on improving growth fundamentals.
Global measures of economic surprises had picked up in March but in many respects had largely gone unnoticed by markets more intent on focusing on political concern. US 10-year yields reached their low of the year just a few days after the referendum vote. By the time of the referendum vote economic surprise indices had turned positive in the Eurozone, the UK and Japan. Through July US data also took a resounding turn for the better with economic surprise indices turning positive. Credit markets responded positively and built on their gains between February and April but at a measured pace. US Treasury yields started to rise but by the end of November had still only risen to levels seen in late May.
November saw the surprise election of Donald Trump to the US Presidency. Markets’ fears prior to the election had focused on concerns that trade issues might constrain global growth. However, with the success of the Republicans in both houses, market focus turned to the potential of a fiscal boost (infrastructure and military spending increases combined with tax cuts) with many commentators pushing growth forecasts for 2017 and 2018 higher. At the same juncture, renewed strength in the US labor markets became evident and pointed to the likelihood of a rise in the Federal Funds rate in early December. Ten-year US Yields rose sharply ending November at 2.39% compared to 1.84% at end May. Over the same six months, US investment Grade Corporate spreads tightened 20 bps, US High Yield Corporate spreads tightened 111 bps and EMD tightened 23 bps. EM local currency bonds markets were broadly flat in USD terms over the same period.
Looking forward, we believe the key issue for the Treasury market is likely to be the extent to which the Federal Reserve does or does not deliver further interest rate hikes in 2017. The market is priced consistent with between one and two hikes. For the Federal Reserve to push beyond this it would likely need to see further labor market tightening, in our view. Current economic momentum is positive but we think the Fed is likely to move slowly unless the economy accelerates or it becomes clear that fiscal policy will become significantly more supportive of the economy.

These derivative positions may increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to these risks. At the end of the reporting period the Fund had net exposure to these derivatives of approximately $181 thousand. Over the course of the reporting period these derivative positions generated a net realized gain of approximately $290 thousand and $147 thousand in unrealized depreciation, for an increase in operations of $143 thousand.

Stone Harbor Investment Funds | Disclosure of Fund Expenses |
November 30, 2016 (Unaudited)
Example. As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and/or redemption fees (if applicable) and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The below examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested on June 1, 2016 and held until November 30, 2016.
Actual Expenses. The first table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect transactional costs, such as redemption fees, sales charges (loads) or exchange fees. Therefore, the second table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1) | If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
(2) | Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on sovereign issues of an emerging country as of period end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. |

(3) | Bank loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. All loans carry a variable rate of interest. These base lending rates are generally (i) the Prime Rate offered by one or more major United States banks, (ii) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or (iii) the Certificate of Deposit rate. Bank Loans, while exempt from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Floating rate bank loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. |
(4) | Non-income producing security. |
(5) | Amount represents less than 0.005% of net assets. |

The Trust also includes the Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Debt Blend Fund and Stone Harbor 500 Plus Fund, neither of which had commenced operations as of the reporting period.
The Emerging Markets Debt Fund’s investment objective is to maximize total return. The Fund normally will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) in Emerging Markets Fixed Income Securities. “Emerging Markets Fixed Income Securities” include fixed income securities and derivative instruments (including, but not limited to, spot and currency contracts, futures, options and swaps) that economically are tied to countries with emerging securities markets or whose performance is linked to those countries’ markets, economies or ability to repay loans. Emerging Markets Fixed Income Securities may be denominated in non‐U.S. currencies or the U.S. dollar. A security or instrument is economically tied to an emerging market country if it is principally traded on the country’s securities markets or the issuer is organized or principally operates in the country, derives a majority of its income from its operations within the country or has a majority of its assets within the country. Emerging Markets Fixed Income Securities also include derivatives and other instruments used to hedge or gain exposure to emerging securities markets (for example, futures or other derivatives whose return is based on specific emerging markets securities or indices).
The High Yield Bond Fund’s investment objective is to maximize total return. The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) in High Yield Debt Securities. “High Yield Debt Securities” include fixed income securities and derivative instruments (including, but not limited to, spot and currency contracts, futures, options and swaps) rated below investment grade (or, if unrated, of comparable quality as determined by Stone Harbor Investment Partners LP (the “Adviser” or “Stone Harbor”). These types of securities and instruments are commonly referred to as “high yield” securities or “junk bonds,” and may include, among other things, bonds, debentures, notes, equipment trust certificates, commercial paper, commercial loans, preferred stock and other obligations of U.S. and non‐U.S. issuers. High Yield Debt Securities also include securities or other instruments whose return is based on the return of high yield securities, including derivative instruments and instruments created to hedge or gain exposure to the high yield markets.
The Local Markets Fund’s investment objective is to maximize total return. The Fund normally will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) in Emerging Markets Investments. “Emerging Markets Investments” include fixed income securities and derivative instruments (including, but not limited to, spot and currency contracts, futures, options and swaps) that economically are tied to an emerging market country, which are denominated in the predominant currency of the local market of an emerging market country (an “Emerging Markets Currency”) or whose performance is linked to those countries’ currencies, markets, economies or ability to repay loans. Although under normal circumstances a significant portion of the Fund’s investments will be denominated in Emerging Markets Currencies, Emerging Markets Investments may be denominated in non‐Emerging Markets Currencies, including the U.S. dollar. A security or instrument is economically tied to an emerging market country if it is principally traded on the country’s securities markets or the issuer is organized or principally operates in the country, derives a majority of its income from its operations within the country or has a majority of its assets within the country. Emerging Markets Investments also include Emerging Markets Currencies and derivatives and other instruments used to hedge or gain exposure to emerging securities markets or Emerging Markets Currencies (for example, futures or other derivatives whose return is based on specific emerging markets securities, emerging markets indices or Emerging Markets Currencies).
The Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund’s investment objective is to maximize total return. The Fund normally will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) in Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Investments. “Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Investments” are debt instruments, including loans, issued by corporations or other business organizations that are economically tied to an emerging market country. A corporation or other business organization is economically tied to an emerging market country if it issues securities that are principally traded on the country’s securities markets or if it is organized or principally operates in the country, derives a majority of its income from its operations within the country or has a majority of its assets within the country. Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Investments also include derivative instruments used for hedging purposes or to otherwise gain or reduce long or short exposure to Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Investments.
The Investment Grade Fund’s investment objective is to maximize total return. The Fund invests in various types of fixed income securities and under normal market conditions will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) in Investment Grade Debt Securities. “Investment Grade Debt Securities” include fixed income securities that are rated investment grade by any of Moody’s Investors Services, Inc., Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, Fitch Ratings Limited, DBRS or other qualified rating agencies or, if unrated, are determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality, and derivative instruments related to those securities.

The Strategic Income Fund’s investment objective is to maximize total return. The Fund is intended to provide broad exposure to global credit markets. The Fund, either directly or through investment in the underlying funds (defined below), may invest in a broad variety of fixed income and other income producing securities and instruments (including derivatives), and will not be limited in terms of type of instrument, geography, credit rating or duration. The Fund may invest all or a significant portion of its assets in Stone Harbor Investment Grade Fund, Stone Harbor High Yield Bond Fund, Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Stone Harbor Local Markets Fund and Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund and other funds sponsored or advised by the Adviser (together, the “underlying funds”). The Fund is not required to invest in the underlying funds, and from time to time may not be invested in any underlying fund. In addition to investing in the underlying funds, the Fund may invest directly in fixed income securities and in other instruments and transactions.
The Emerging Markets Debt Allocation Fund’s investment objective is to maximize total return. The Fund, either directly or through investment in the underlying funds (defined below), will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) in Emerging Markets Investments. Emerging Markets Investments include fixed income securities and other income producing securities and derivative instruments (including, but not limited to , spot and currency contracts, futures, options and swaps), that economically are tied to an emerging market country or whose performance is linked to those countries’ currencies, markets, economies or ability to repay loans. The Fund may invest all or a significant portion of its assets in Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Debt Fund and Stone Harbor Local Markets Fund (together, the “underlying funds”). The Fund is not required to invest in the underlying funds, and from time to time may not be invested in any underlying fund. In addition to investing in the underlying funds, the Fund may invest directly in fixed income securities and in other instruments and transactions.
The Emerging Markets Debt Fund and Local Markets Fund are each classified as “non‐diversified” under the 1940 Act. As a result, these Funds can invest a greater portion of the respective Funds’ assets in obligations of a single issuer than a “diversified” fund. These Funds may therefore be more susceptible than a diversified fund to being adversely affected by any single corporate, economic, political or regulatory occurrence. The High Yield Bond Fund, Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund, Investment Grade Fund, Strategic Income Fund, and Emerging Markets Debt Allocation Fund are diversified funds. The Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund was previously classified as a non‐diversified investment company for purposes of the 1940 Act. As a result of ongoing operations, the Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund is now classified as a diversified company.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. Each Fund is considered an investment company for financial reporting purposes under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The policies are in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation: Sovereign debt obligations, corporate bonds, convertible corporate bonds, and U.S. Treasury bonds, are generally valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service. The pricing services generally uses market models that consider trade data, yields, spreads, quotations from dealers and active market makers, credit worthiness, market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Asset backed/commercial mortgage backed securities are generally valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service. The pricing service generally use models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer. Bank loans are primarily valued by a loan pricing provider using a composite loan price at the mean of the bid and ask prices from one or more brokers of dealers. Credit Linked securities are generally valued using quotations from broker through which the Fund executed the transaction. The broker’s quotation considers cash flows, default and recovery rates, and other security specific information.. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are generally valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If on a given day, a closing price is not available on the exchange the equity security is valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices, as such prices are provided by a pricing service. Publicly traded foreign government debt securities are typically traded internationally in the over the counter market, and are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices as of the close of business of that market. When prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the Funds calculate their net asset value, the Funds may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Short term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Open end funds and money market mutual funds are valued at their net asset value. Futures contracts are ordinarily valued at the last sales price on the securities or commodities exchange on which they are traded. Over the counter (“OTC”) traded derivatives (primarily swaps and foreign currency options) are generally priced by an independent pricing service. OTC traded credit default swaps are valued by the independent pricing source using a mid price that is calculated based on data an independent pricing source receives from dealers. OTC traded foreign currency options are valued by an independent pricing source using mid foreign exchange rates against USD for all currencies at 4:00 p.m. EST. Derivatives which are cleared by an exchange are priced by using the last price on such exchange. Foreign currency positions including forward currency contracts are priced at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.

A three‐tier hierarchy has been established to measure fair value based on the extent of use of “observable inputs” as compared to “unobservable inputs” for disclosure purposes and requires additional disclosures about these valuations measurements. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing a security. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the security developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the security developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The three‐tier hierarchy is summarized as follows:
Level 1 – | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access. |
Level 2 – | Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curve, rates, and similar data. |
Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. |
The following is a summary of each Fund’s investments and financial instruments based on the three‐tier hierarchy as of November 30, 2016:

Stone Harbor Investment Funds | Notes to Financial Statements |
November 30, 2016 (Unaudited)
In the event a Board approved independent pricing service is unable to provide an evaluated price for a security or the Adviser believes the price provided is not reliable, securities of the Funds may be valued at fair value as described above. In these instances the Adviser may seek to find an alternative independent source, such as a broker/dealer to provide a price quote, or by using evaluated pricing models similar to the techniques and models used by the independent pricing service. These fair value measurement techniques may utilize unobservable inputs (Level 3).
On at least a quarterly basis, the Adviser presents the factors considered in determining the fair value measurements and presents that information to the Board which meets at least quarterly.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex‐dividend date. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex‐dividend date or as soon as practical after the Funds determine the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. Dividend income received from underlying affiliated funds is generally reinvested back into the underlying fund. If applicable, any foreign capital gains taxes are accrued, net of unrealized gains, and are payable upon the sale of such investments. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method. To the extent any issuer defaults on an expected interest payment, the Funds’ policy is to generally halt any additional interest income accruals and consider the realizability of interest accrued up to the date of default.
Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment valuations and other assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Prevailing foreign exchange rates may generally be obtained at the close of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The portion of realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed and is included in realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments, when applicable.
Foreign Securities: The Funds may directly purchase securities of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers. The risks include possible revaluation of currencies, the ability to repatriate funds, less complete financial information about companies and possible future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. issuers.
Credit Linked Notes: The Funds may invest in credit linked notes to obtain economic exposure to high yield, emerging markets or other securities. Investments in a credit linked note typically provide the holder with a return based on the return of an underlying reference instrument, such as an emerging market bond. Like an investment in a bond, investments in credit‐linked securities represent the right to receive periodic income payments (in the form of distributions) and payment of principal at the end of the term of the security. In addition to the risks associated with the underlying reference instrument, an investment in a credit linked note is also subject to liquidity risk, market risk, interest rate risk and the risk that the counterparty will be unwilling or unable to meet its obligations under the note.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that a Fund either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., foreign currency exchange contracts, securities with extended settlement periods, and swaps) or certain borrowings (e.g., reverse repurchase agreements), the Fund will segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or other liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount that is required to be physically segregated for the benefit of the counterparty. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker‐dealers, each party has requirements to deliver/deposit cash or securities as collateral for certain investments. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as “Deposits with brokers” or “Payable due to brokers”, respectively. Securities collateral pledged for the same purpose is noted on the Statements of Investments.
Loan Participations and Assignments: The Funds may invest in loans arranged through private negotiation between one or more financial institutions. The Funds’ investment in any such loan may be in the form of a participation in or an assignment of the loan. In connection with purchasing participations, the Funds generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the loan, nor any rights of set‐off against the borrower and the Funds may not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the loan in which they have purchased the participation.
While some loans are collateralized and senior to an issuer’s other debt securities, other loans may be unsecured and/or subordinated to other securities. Some senior loans, such as bank loans, may be illiquid and generally tend to be less liquid than many other debt securities.
The Funds may also invest in unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Information regarding unfunded commitments is included at the end of the Funds’ Statements of Investments.

The Funds assume the credit risk of the borrower, the lender that is selling the participation and any other persons interpositioned between the Funds and the borrower. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling the participation, the Funds may be treated as a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any set‐off between the lender and the borrower. Loans may not be considered “securities”, and purchasers, such as the Funds, therefore may not be entitled to rely on the anti‐fraud protections of the federal securities laws.
Inflation‐Indexed Bonds: Certain Funds may invest in inflation‐indexed bonds. Inflation‐indexed bonds are fixed‐income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation‐indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase or decrease in the principal amount of an inflation‐indexed bond will be included as interest income on the Statements of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
Mortgage‐Related and Other Asset‐Backed Securities: Certain Funds may invest in mortgage‐related and other asset‐backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass‐through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage‐backed securities, stripped mortgage‐backed securities, asset‐backed securities, collateralized debt obligations and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. Mortgage‐related and other asset‐backed securities are interests in pools of loans or other receivables. Mortgage‐related securities are created from pools of residential or commercial mortgage loans, including mortgage loans made by savings and loan institutions, mortgage bankers, commercial banks and others. Asset‐backed securities are created from many types of assets, including auto loans, credit card receivables, home equity loans, and student loans. These securities provide a monthly payment which consists of both interest and principal payments. Interest payments may be determined by fixed or adjustable rates. The rate of prepayments on underlying mortgages will affect the price and volatility of a mortgage‐related security, and may have the effect of shortening or extending the effective duration of the security relative to what was anticipated at the time of purchase. The timely payment of principal and interest of certain mortgage‐related securities is guaranteed with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Pools created and guaranteed by non‐governmental issuers, including government sponsored corporations, may be supported by various forms of insurance or guarantees, but there can be no assurance that the private insurers or guarantors can meet their obligations under the insurance policies or guarantee arrangements.
U.S. Government Agencies or Government‐Sponsored Enterprises: Certain Funds may invest in securities of U.S. Government agencies or government‐sponsored enterprises. U.S. Government securities are obligations of and, in certain cases, guaranteed by, the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. Some U.S. Government securities, such as Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government; others, such as those of the Federal Home Loan Banks, are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”); others, such as those of the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”), are supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the agency’s obligations. U.S. Government securities may include zero coupon securities, which do not distribute interest on a current basis and tend to be subject to greater risk than interest‐paying securities of similar maturities.
Government‐related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include FNMA and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). FNMA is a government‐sponsored corporation. FNMA purchases conventional (i.e., not insured or guaranteed by any government agency) residential mortgages from a list of approved seller/servicers which include state and federally chartered savings and loan associations, mutual savings banks, commercial banks and credit unions and mortgage bankers. Pass‐through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA, but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC issues Participation Certificates (“PCs”), which are pass‐through securities, each representing an undivided interest in a pool of residential mortgages. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but PCs are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
Forward Commitments: Certain Funds may contract to purchase securities for a fixed price at a transaction date beyond the customary settlement period (i.e., “when‐issued,” “delayed‐delivery,” “forward commitment,” or “To Be Announced (“TBA”) transactions”) consistent with a Fund’s ability to manage its investment portfolio and meet redemption requests. These transactions involve a commitment by a Fund to purchase securities for a predetermined price or yield with payment and delivery taking place more than three days in the future or after a period longer than the customary settlement period for that type of security. No interest will be earned by a Fund on such purchases until the securities are delivered; however, the market value may change prior to delivery. A Fund will not engage in these transactions for investment leverage.
When‐issued securities involve the risk that the yield obtained in the transaction will be less than that available in the market when delivery takes place. Securities purchased on a when‐issued basis are recorded as an asset and are subject to changes in value based upon changes in the value of the security or general level of interest rates. In when‐issued and delayed‐delivery transactions, a Fund relies on the seller to complete the transaction; the seller’s failure to do so may cause a Fund to miss an advantageous price or yield.

The Funds may enter into TBA commitments. TBA commitments are forward agreements for the purchase or sale of mortgage‐backed securities for a fixed price, with payment and delivery on an agreed upon future settlement date. The specific securities to be delivered are not identified at the trade date. However, delivered securities must meet specified terms, including issuer, rate and mortgage terms. The Funds generally enter into TBA commitments with the intent to take possession of or deliver the underlying mortgage‐backed securities but can extend the settlement or roll the transaction. Regulatory developments may limit the ability of a Fund to engage in TBA transactions to the extent desired.
Unsettled TBA sale (purchase) commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities. The contract is adjusted to market value daily, and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. Outstanding TBA commitments and related deliverables are reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in Payable for investments purchased and Receivable for investments sold, respectively. If the TBA sale (purchase) commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase (sale) commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered into. These gain/loss amounts are reflected in the Accumulated net realized gain/loss on investments and Net unrealized appreciation on investments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Emerging Market Risk: Emerging market countries often experience instability in their political and economic structures. Government actions could have a great effect on the economic conditions in these countries, which can affect the value and liquidity of the assets of a Fund. Specific risks that could decrease a Fund’s return include seizure of a company’s assets, restrictions imposed on payments as a result of blockages on foreign currency exchanges, expropriation, confiscatory taxation and unanticipated social or political occurrences. In addition, the ability of an emerging market government to make timely payments on its debt obligations will depend on the extent of its reserves, interest rate fluctuations and access to international credit and investments. A country with non‐diversified exports or that relies on specific imports will be subject to a greater extent to fluctuations in the pricing of those commodities. Failure to generate adequate earnings from foreign trade would make it difficult for an emerging market country to service foreign debt. Disruptions resulting from social and political factors may cause the securities markets of emerging market countries to close. If this were to occur, the liquidity and value of a Fund’s assets invested in corporate debt obligations of emerging market companies would decline. Foreign investment in debt securities of emerging market countries may be restricted or controlled to varying degrees. These restrictions can limit or preclude foreign investment in debt securities of certain emerging market countries. In addition, certain emerging market countries may also restrict investment opportunities in issuers in industries deemed important to national interests.
Interest Rate Risk: Changes in interest rates will affect the value of a Fund’s investments. In general, as interest rates rise, bond prices fall, and as interest rates fall, bond prices rise. Interest rate risk is generally greater for funds that invest a significant portion of their assets in high yield securities. However, funds that generally invest a significant portion of their assets in higher‐rated fixed income securities are also subject to this risk. A Fund also faces increased interest rate risk if it invests in fixed income securities paying no current interest (such as zero coupon securities and principal‐only securities), interest‐only securities and fixed income securities paying non‐cash interest in the form of other securities.
Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to purchase or sell at the time that a Fund would like or at the price that the Fund believes such investments are currently worth. Certain of the Funds’ investments may be illiquid. Illiquid securities may become harder to value, especially in changing markets. A Fund’s investments in illiquid securities may reduce the returns of the Fund because it may be unable to sell the illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or possibly require the Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its obligations, which could prevent the Fund from taking advantage of other investment opportunities. Additionally, the market for certain investments may become illiquid under adverse market or economic conditions independent of any specific adverse changes in the conditions of a particular issuer. Derivatives, securities that involve substantial interest rate or credit risk and bank loans tend to involve greater liquidity risk. In addition, liquidity risk tends to increase to the extent a Fund invests in securities whose sale may be restricted by law or by contract, such as Rule 144A and Regulation S securities.
Foreign Investment Risk: The securities markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries. Additionally, issuers of foreign (non‐U.S.) securities are usually not subject to the same degree of regulation as U.S. issuers. Reporting, accounting, auditing and custody standards of foreign countries differ, in some cases significantly, from U.S. standards. Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Also, nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, political changes or diplomatic developments could adversely affect a Fund’s investments in a foreign country. In the event of nationalization, expropriation or other confiscation, a Fund could lose its entire investment in foreign (non‐U.S.) securities. Adverse conditions in a certain region can adversely affect securities of other countries whose economies appear to be unrelated. Foreign (non‐U.S.) securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers.
Credit and Market Risk: The Funds invest in high yield and emerging market instruments that are subject to certain credit and market risks. The yields of high yield and emerging market debt obligations reflect, among other things, perceived credit and market risks. The Funds’ investment in securities rated below investment grade typically involves risks not associated with higher rated securities including, among others, greater risk related to timely and ultimate payment of interest and principal, greater market price volatility and less liquid secondary market trading. The consequences of political, social, economic or diplomatic changes may have disruptive effects on the market prices of investments held by the Funds. The Funds’ investment in non‐U.S. dollar denominated securities may also result in foreign currency losses caused by devaluations and exchange rate fluctuations. Investments in derivatives are also subject to credit and market risks.

Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex‐date. Income distributions, if any are generally declared and paid on a quarterly basis, except for any distributions paid by the Local Markets Fund and the Emerging Markets Debt Allocation Fund, which are declared and paid annually. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. A portion of the Fund’s distributions made for a taxable year may be recharacterized as a return of capital to shareholders. This may occur, for example, if the Fund’s distributions exceed its “earnings and profits” for the taxable year or because certain foreign currency losses may reduce the Fund’s income. This recharacterization may be retroactive. A return of capital will generally not be taxable, but will reduce a shareholder’s basis in his or her Fund shares and therefore result in a higher gain or lower loss when the shareholder sells the shares.
Expenses: Direct expenses are charged to each Fund; expenses of the Trust are generally allocated to the Funds based on each Fund’s relative net assets.
Federal and Other Taxes: No provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements, as the Funds intend to distribute to shareholders all taxable investment income and realized gains and otherwise comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies.
The Funds evaluate tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax provisions to determine whether these positions meet a “more‐likely‐than‐not” standard that, based on the technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the “more‐likely‐than‐not” recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements.
As of and during the period ended November 30, 2016, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds file U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The Funds’ tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return for federal purposes and four years for most state returns. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.
2. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Risk Exposure and the Use of Derivative Instruments: The Funds’ investment objectives allow the Funds to enter in various types of derivatives contracts. In doing so, the Funds employ strategies in differing combinations to permit them to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market factors. Central to those strategies are features inherent to derivatives that may make them more attractive for this purpose than equity or debt securities; they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus exposure on only certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to the contract. This may allow the Funds to pursue their objectives more quickly and efficiently than if they were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market factors.
The Funds’ use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the risk factors described in Note 1 and the overall market. In instances where the Funds are using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Funds, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.
Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allows each Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Funds’ performance.
Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Funds. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Funds are attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per their investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives.
Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Funds will not be able to sell or close out the derivative in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Funds. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type below in the notes that follow.
Stone Harbor Investment Funds Semi-Annual Report | November 30, 2016 | 83 |
Stone Harbor Investment Funds | Notes to Financial Statements |
November 30, 2016 (Unaudited)
Derivatives are also subject to the risk of possible regulatory changes, which could adversely affect the availability and performance of derivative securities, make them more costly and limit or restrict their use by the Fund, which could prevent the Fund from implementing its investment strategies and adversely affect returns.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: Certain Funds engaged in currency transactions with counterparties during the period ended November 30, 2016 to hedge the value of portfolio securities denominated in particular currencies against fluctuations in relative value, to gain or reduce exposure to certain currencies, or to generate income or gains. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The contract is marked‐to‐market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. When a forward foreign currency contract is extinguished, through either delivery or offset by entering into another forward foreign currency contract, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was extinguished.
Forward foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds bear the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the forward foreign currency contract. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
Futures Contracts: Certain Funds invested in futures contracts during the period ended November 30, 2016 in accordance with their investment objectives. Each Fund does so for a variety of reasons including for cash management, hedging or non‐hedging purposes in an attempt to achieve investment returns consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. A futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified quantity of the security or other financial instrument at a specified price and time. A futures contract on an index is an agreement pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount of cash equal to the difference between the value of the index at the close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the index contract was originally written. Futures contract transactions may result in losses in excess of the amount invested in the futures contract. There can be no guarantee that there will be a correlation between price movements in the hedging vehicle and in the portfolio securities being hedged. An incorrect correlation could result in a loss on both the hedged securities in a Fund and the hedging vehicle so that the portfolio return might have been greater had hedging not been attempted. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist at a time when a Fund seeks to close out a futures contract or a futures option position. Lack of a liquid market for any reason may prevent a Fund from liquidating an unfavorable position, and the Fund would remain obligated to meet margin requirements until the position is closed. In addition, a Fund could be exposed to risk if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. With exchange‐traded futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures contracts are exchange‐traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange‐traded futures contracts, guarantees the futures contracts against default.
When a purchase or sale of a futures contract is made by a Fund, the Fund is required to deposit with its broker a specified amount of liquid assets (“initial margin”). The margin required for a futures contract is set by the exchange on which the contract is traded and may be modified during the term of the contract. The margin is reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Deposit with brokers for futures contracts”. The initial margin is in the nature of a performance bond or good faith deposit on the futures contract that is returned to a Fund upon termination of the contract, assuming all contractual obligations have been satisfied. Each day a Fund may pay or receive cash, called “variation margin,” equal to the daily change in value of the futures contract. Such payments or receipts are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses by a Fund. Variation margin does not represent a borrowing or loan by a Fund but is instead a settlement between a Fund and the broker of the amount one would owe the other if the futures contract expired. When the contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
Swap Agreements: Certain Funds invested in swap agreements during the period ended November 30, 2016. Swap agreements are bilaterally negotiated agreements between a Fund and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market‐linked returns at specified, future intervals. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over the counter market (“OTC swaps”) or may be executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange (“centrally cleared swaps”). In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and the Fund’s counterparty on the swap agreement becomes the CCP. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps on individual securities or groups or indices of securities for hedging, investment or leverage purposes. In connection with these agreements, securities or cash may be identified as collateral or margin in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency.
Swaps are marked‐to‐market daily and changes in value, including the accrual of periodic amounts of interest, are recorded daily. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, are recorded as a receivable or payable for the change in value as appropriate (“variation margin”). Each day the Fund may pay or receive cash, equal to the variation margin of the centrally cleared swap. OTC swap payments received or paid at the beginning of the measurement period represent premiums paid or received upon entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, interest rates, and other relevant factors). Generally, the basis of the OTC swaps is the unamortized premium received or paid. The periodic swap payments received or made by the Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses, respectively. Any upfront fees paid are recorded as assets and any upfront fees received are recorded as liabilities. When the swap is terminated, the Fund will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract, if any.

Credit Default Swap Contracts: Certain Funds entered into credit default swap contracts during the period ended November 30, 2016 for hedging purposes to gain market exposure or to add leverage to its portfolio. When used for hedging purposes, a Fund is the buyer of a credit default swap contract. In that case, the Fund is entitled to receive the par (or other agreed upon) value of a referenced debt obligation, index or other investment from the counterparty to the contract in the event of a default by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign issuer, on the referenced debt obligation. In return, the Fund would pay to the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default has occurred. If no event of default occurs, the Fund has spent the stream of payments and received no benefit from the contract. When the Fund is the seller of a credit default swap contract, the Fund receives the stream of payments but is obligated to pay upon default of the referenced debt obligation. As the seller, the Fund effectively adds leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total assets, the Fund is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.
In addition to the risks applicable to derivatives generally, credit default swaps involve special risks because they may be difficult to value, are highly susceptible to liquidity and credit risk and generally pay a return to the counterparty only in the event of an actual default by the issuer of the underlying obligation, as opposed to a credit downgrade or other indication of financial difficulty.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts: Certain Funds may enter into interest rate swap agreements. Interest rate swap contracts involve the exchange by a Fund with another party for their respective commitment to pay or receive interest on the notional amount of principal. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels, (iv) callable interest rate swaps, under which the buyer pays an upfront fee in consideration for the right to early terminate the swap transaction in whole, at zero costs and at a predetermined date and time prior to the maturity date, (v) spreadlocks, which allow the interest rate swap users to lock in the forward differential (or spread) between the interest rate swap rate and a specified benchmark, or (vi) basis swaps, under which two parties can exchange variable interest rates based on different segments of money markets.
Foreign Currency Options: During the period ended November 30, 2016, the Strategic Income Fund purchased foreign currency options. Purchasing foreign currency options gives the Fund the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell the currency with specified amounts of currency and a rate of exchange that may be exercised by a certain date. Writing foreign currency options gives the counterparty the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell the currency with specified amounts of currency and a rate of exchange that may be exercised by a certain date. These options may be used as a short or long hedge against possible variations in foreign exchange rates or to gain exposure to foreign currencies.
Currency hedging involves special risks, including possible default by the other party to the transaction, illiquidity and, to the extent the Adviser’s view as to certain market movements is incorrect, the risk that the use of hedging could result in losses greater than if they had not been used. In addition, in certain countries in which each Fund may invest, currency hedging opportunities may not be available.

Offsetting Arrangements: Certain derivative contracts are executed under standardized netting agreements. A derivative netting arrangement creates an enforceable right of set-off that becomes effective, and affects the realization of settlement on individual assets, liabilities and collateral amounts, only following a specified event of default or early termination. Default events may include the failure to make payments or deliver securities timely, material adverse changes in financial condition or insolvency, the breach of minimum regulatory capital requirements, or loss of license, charter or other legal authorization necessary to perform under the contract. These agreements mitigate counterparty credit risk by providing for a single net settlement with a counterparty of all financial transactions covered by the agreement in an event of default as defined under such agreement.
