Management Perspective

funds seeking emerging market yields
importantly with less volatility than EMB - Closer to credit risk aspects of transaction
- Provides opportunity for diversification of
emerging markets risk holdings - Market is not screen based but liquid
- More pricing transparency is needed some
footholds exist more is needed - More standardization and streamlining physical
delivery of documentation can be an obstacle for
smaller fund holders again some footholds exist
more is needed
