PIMCO AND SOURCE ETPs OFFER EMERGING MARKET LOCAL BOND EXPOSURE TO GBP INVESTORS
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
London, 7(th) October 2013: PIMCO, a leading global investment management firm
and Source, a specialist provider of exchange traded products are pleased to
announce that PIMCO EM Advantage Local Bond Index Source ETF can now be traded
in GBP on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker EMLP. The ETF, which was
previously tradable in USD only, has assets of US$ 176 million.
The recent market volatility has created entry points for investors looking to
make a strategic allocation to emerging markets. We believe the PIMCO EM
Advantage Local Bond Index Source ETF offers exposure to local emerging market
sovereign debt via the PIMCO EM Advantage Local Currency Bond Index ("EM
Advantage"), an innovative, GDP-weighted index, offering exposure to 12 emerging
market countries.
"Due to its exposure to the systemically important emerging market countries via
various local currency fixed instruments, the EM Advantage ETF offers investors
a lower duration and lower volatility alternative to traditional EM local debt
exposure." says Howard Chan, ETF product manager at PIMCO, EMEA. Year to date,
EM Advantage Index has outperformed the J.P. Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified
Index by 2.7%.
"Investors are increasingly questioning the value of traditional benchmarks,"
says Source CEO Ted Hood. "By partnering with PIMCO, we are able to offer
expertly engineered fixed income products. This GBP listing will make that
expertise accessible to a broader range of investors."
The PIMCO EM Advantage Local Bond Index Source ETF is traded on the London Stock
Exchange and has an annual management fee of 0.60%.
