| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the reporting period ended October 31, 2024, the Fund returned 8.18%. For the same period, the JPM Emerging Market Bond Index returned 14.94% and the J.P. Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified 15% Cap 4.5% Floor Index returned 5.61%. What contributed to performance? Emerging market sovereign bonds delivered solid returns during the reporting period, buoyed by expectations of a rate cut from the U.S. Federal Reserve, which was realized in September. In addition, emerging market economies benefited from steady economic growth and their progress in monetary easing cycles. At the country level, China observed gains following government efforts to stimulate the world’s second-largest economy, while South African local currency bonds benefited from the country’s improving economic outlook. In terms of credit quality, investment-grade bonds rated BBB and A contributed the most to the Fund’s return. What detracted from performance? During the reporting period, Turkey contributed negatively to performance as the government enacted extreme measures to address inflation and widening deficits. As inflation concerns returned, Brazil’s central bank began to raise borrowing costs, pushing bond prices lower. (Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions.)

For the same period, the JPM Emerging Market Bond Index returned 14.94% and the J.P. Morgan CEMBI Broad Diversified Core Index returned 14.99%. What contributed to performance? Emerging market bonds delivered strong returns during the reporting period as expectations of interest rate cuts and then a cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve in September helped these bonds move higher. In addition, emerging market economies benefited from steady growth and from already being in the advanced stages of their easing cycles. In this landscape, the Fund’s allocation to financial bonds contributed to the Fund’s return during the reporting period. Industrials, specifically the basic and communications sectors, also contributed to performance. At the issuer level, Hong Kong industrial bonds were meaningful contributors. From a quality perspective, bonds on the lower end of the investment grade spectrum (rated Baa by Moody’s) benefited performance, followed by the highest rated high yield bonds, rated Ba. What detracted from performance? During the reporting period there were no significant detractors from the Fund’s return.

Bond returns were supported during the reporting period by an environment of slowing pricing pressures. Amid worries about growth prospects, the European Central Bank cut rates three times, while the United States economy stayed strong, prompting the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank to wait until September before decreasing short-term interest rates for the first since 2020. In contrast, Japan ended its negative interest rate regime and raised rates. Positive returns were registered by all countries, but contributions to the Fund’s return were dominated by U.S. corporate bonds, which have benefited from solid demand amid favorable bond conditions.
