Capturing the powerful income potential of Latin American equities and bonds.
Aberdeen Latin American Income Fund (ALAI) aims to provide investors with a total return and an above-average yield, primarily through investing in Latin American securities. While the portfolio is constructed without reference to any benchmark, the company measures its performance against a composite index (in sterling terms): 60% MSCI EM Latin America 10/40 Index and 40% JP Morgan Government Bond Index EM Global Diversified (Latin America carve-out).
Active: We are a benchmark agnostic, high conviction active manager.
Long-term winners: We only invest in high quality companies with strong balance sheets, which are cash generative. We seek out good management teams that we believe manage ESG risks well and enjoy a clear and defendable competitive advantage.

Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG): ESG is integral to our investment process, driven by active engagement.
Long-term: We are long term investors, not speculators, aiming to identify outstanding companies that we believe can deliver meaningful long term gains.
