Fund Description

Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s assets will be invested in debt securities of issuers located in emerging market countries, which may include U.S. dollar-denominated, local currency and corporate debt securities. This policy may be changed without shareholder approval; however, you would be notified upon 60 days’ notice in writing of any changes.
The Adviser and/or the “Sub-Advisers,” Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited (“MSIM Limited”) and Morgan Stanley Investment Management Company (“MSIM Company”) seek high total return by investing primarily in fixed-income securities of government and government-related issuers and corporate issuers in emerging market countries.
The Adviser and/or Sub-Advisers implement a top down assessment of the global economic environment and the sensitivity of emerging economies in general to worldwide events. In selecting the Fund’s investments, the Adviser and/or Sub-Advisers analyze the ability of an emerging market country’s government to formulate and implement fiscal and economic policies; socio-political factors, including political risks, election calendars, human development and social stability; and exchange rate and interest rate valuation.
The Fund’s investment process incorporates information about environmental, social and governance issues (also referred to as ESG) via an integrated approach within the investment team’s fundamental investment analysis framework. The Adviser and/or Sub-Advisers may engage with management of certain issuers regarding corporate governance practices as well as what the Adviser and/or Sub-Advisers deem to be materially important environmental and/or social issues facing a company.
The Fund’s holdings may range in maturity from overnight to 30 years or more and will not be subject to any minimum credit rating standard. The Adviser and/or Sub-Advisers generally consider selling a portfolio holding when it determines that the holding no longer satisfies its investment criteria.
The Fund may invest in fixed-income securities that are rated below “investment grade” or are not rated, but are of equivalent quality. These fixed-income securities are often referred to as “high yield securities” or “junk bonds.” High yield securities are fixed-income securities rated by one or more rating agencies below Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), below BBB- by
S&P Global Ratings Group, a division of S&P Global Inc. (“S&P”), below BBB- by Fitch Ratings Inc. (“Fitch”) or the equivalent by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”), or if unrated considered by the Adviser and/or Sub-Advisers to be of equivalent quality.
The Fund may invest in restricted and illiquid securities.
The Fund may, but it is not required to, use derivative instruments for a variety of purposes, including hedging, risk management, portfolio management or to earn income. The Fund’s use of derivatives may involve the purchase and sale of derivative instruments such as futures, options, swaps, structured investments and other related instruments and techniques. The Fund may utilize foreign currency forward exchange contracts, which are also derivatives, in connection with its investments in foreign securities. Derivative instruments used by the Fund will be counted toward the Fund’s 80% policy discussed above to the extent they have economic characteristics similar to the securities included within that policy.
