1Share of 2010 World GDP
Share of MSCI AC World Index
Share of Barcap Global Agg Index*
• Emerging Markets currently contribute close to 40% of global GDP and yet share only 15% of global market capitalisation and 3% of global g g y g y y g p gcredit. We expect both numbers to increase significantly as EM growth outperformance occurs
• In fixed income, we believe the strong internal growth story in EM creates the need for capital to fund this growth and leads to significantly increased EM corporate issuance and its growing share of fixed income issuance globally
6Data source: MSCI, BarCap, FactSet, World Federation of Exchanges, Goldman Sachs Global ECS Research estimates, as at October 2011
*EM also accounts for approx. 6% of US$ denominated Merrill Lynch HY index
EM Corporate Debt – An asset class that has emergedEM dedicated investor base is small but growing
• The launch of JP Morgan CEMBI Diversified index in November 2007 opened the door for a dedicated EM Corporate investor base. Despite fast g p p pAUM growth during 2011, dedicated EM corporate investors only account for US$29.6bn versus US$863bn asset class. Majority of themandates are run for mixed rating products as well as EM IG and EM HY dedicated mandates
• We expect to see further growth in the dedicated investor base for EM Corporates

EM Corporate Debt – An asset class that has emergedDefault rates are expected to be low
• Historically EM Corporate defaults were lower than US High Yield corporate defaults with the exception of 2 years when the defaults were driven by sovereign crises. We expect default rates in EM corporates to remain low, supported by improving EM Sovereign fundamentals
• EM Corporate fundamentals remain on an improving path, with BlueBay estimates for current year defaults running at 1.9%, this translates into 0.6% for the asset class

EM Corporate Debt – An asset class that has emergedBe mindful of potential risks
Technical risks
• Historically EM corporates have been more volatile compared to other fixed income asset classes given (1) early stage of asset class development and (2) small dedicated investor base
Fundamental risks
• Bottom‐up research is key driver of returns in the asset class. Reliance on credit ratings or sovereign support is not enough
• Sovereign risks, legal framework and shareholder motivations should also be taken into account
St t l i kStructural risks
• Deal structures are as important as company’s fundamentals. Given the fast growing nature of the asset class and uncertain long term operating outlook, fundamental profile of a corporate can change rapidly. Investors should demand solid structures to protect the downside risk

EM Corporate Debt at BlueBayEM Corporate subsectors that offer the best opportunities
Despite strong performance of the asset class in October, we still believe that both EM IG and HY corporates offer value. There are also opportunities in the total return products
• Good entry point into EM HY credits?
‐ HY corporates are trading at spread of 647bps implying a 6% default rate versus BlueBay projections of 1.9% default rate. We feel the p g p p p y g y p jdefault rate is not justified given high liquidity cushion and low leverage
‐ We see pockets of opportunities in (1) credit re‐rating theme with corporates benefiting from sovereign upgrades; (2) M&A opportunities; (3) equity like returns for performing HY credits (in particular in Asia)
• Where is value in EM IG credits?
‐ HG corporate are now trading at 289bps and on average still trade close to double the spread of similar rated corps in US. However EM IG corps have the strongest liquidity historically and maintain lower leverage then developed markets counterparts
‐ We see pockets of opportunities in (1) new issue market offering substantial premium versus secondary; (2) credit re‐rating theme with We see pockets of opportunities in ( ) new issue market offering substantial premium versus secondary; ( ) credit re rating theme withcorporates benefiting from sovereign upgrades; (3) Strong technicals in particular in EM IG defensive sectors
• Opportunities in EM Corporate Total Return products?
Large dispersion of returns due to the early development stage of the EM corporate asset class breadth of the universe and a small‐ Large dispersion of returns due to the early development stage of the EM corporate asset class, breadth of the universe and a small dedicated investor base. Spread differential between worst and best performers reaching close to 100% this year
‐ Multiple alpha strategies including credit long‐short, event driven, capital structure, special situations and local EM corporates
‐ We expect bottom‐up credit selection to be the main driver of returns

Gross performance figures reflect the reinvestment of all dividends and earnings, but do not reflect the deduction of investment management and performance fees. An investor’s return will be reduced by the deduction of theapplicable fees, which will vary with the rate of return on the fund. For example, the compounding effect of a 0.60% management fee and a 0.20% performance fee would reduce annualised returns from 10% to 9.32% over a 5year period. In addition, the typical fees and expenses charged to a fund will offset the funds trading profits. A description of the specific fee structure for each BlueBay fund is contained in the fund’s Prospectus.

There is no guarantee that theobjectives shown will be achieved. Changes in rates of exchange may have an adverse effect on the value of investments.
