Sovereign Debt Risk Sample Clauses

Sovereign Debt Risk. In addition to the other risks applicable to debt investments, sovereign debt (debt issued by a foreign government) may decline in value as a result of default or other adverse credit event resulting from an issuer’s inability or unwillingness to make principal or interest payments in a timely fashion. A sovereign entity’s failure to make timely payments on its debt can result from many factors, including, without limitation, insufficient foreign currency reserves or an inability to sufficiently manage fluctuations in relative currency valuations, an inability or unwillingness to satisfy the demands of creditors and/or relevant supranational entities regarding debt service or economic reforms, the size of the debt burden relative to economic output and tax revenues, cash flow difficulties, and other political and social considerations. The risk of loss to the Fund in the event of a sovereign debt default or other adverse credit event is heightened by the unlikelihood of any formal recourse or means to enforce its rights as a holder of the sovereign debt. In addition, sovereign debt restructurings, which may be shaped by entities and factors beyond the Fund’s control, may result in a loss in value of the Fund’s sovereign debt holdings. Certain broker-dealers may be considered to be affiliated persons of the Fund and/or the Investment Manager due to their possible affiliations with Allianz SE, the ultimate parent of the Investment Manager. Absent an exemption from the SEC or other regulatory relief, the Fund is generally precluded from effecting certain principal transactions with affiliated brokers, and its ability to purchase securities being underwritten by an affiliated broker or a syndicate including an affiliated broker, or to utilize affiliated brokers for agency transactions, is subject to restrictions. This could limit the Fund’s ability to engage in securities transactions and take advantage of market opportunities.

Sovereign Debt Risk. The Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governmental entities (known as sovereign debt securities). These investments are subject to the risk of payment delays or defaults, due, for example, to cash flow problems, insufficient foreign currency reserves, political considerations, large debt positions relative to the country’s economy or failure to implement economic reforms. There is no legal or bankruptcy process for collecting sovereign debt.
Sovereign Debt Risk. A Fund may invest in U.S. and non-U.S. government debt securities (“sovereign debt”). Investments in U.S. sovereign debt are considered low risk. However, investments in non-U.S. sovereign debt can involve a high degree of risk, including the risk that the governmental entity that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or to pay the interest on its sovereign debt in a timely manner. A sovereign debtor’s willingness or ability to satisfy its debt obligation may be affected by various factors, including its cash flow situation, the extent of its foreign currency reserves, the availability of foreign exchange when a payment is due, the relative size of its debt position in relation to its economy as a whole, the sovereign debtor’s policy toward international lenders, and local political constraints to which the governmental entity may be subject. Sovereign debtors may also be dependent on expected disbursements from foreign governments, multilateral agencies, and other entities. The failure of a sovereign debtor to implement economic reforms, achieve specified levels of economic performance, or repay principal or interest when due may result in the cancellation of third party commitments to lend funds to the sovereign debtor, which may further impair such debtor’s ability or willingness to timely service its debts. A Fund may be requested to participate in the rescheduling of such sovereign debt and to extend further loans to governmental entities, which may adversely affect the Fund’s holdings. In the event of default, there may be limited or no legal remedies for collecting sovereign debt and there may be no bankruptcy proceedings through which a Fund may collect all or part of the sovereign debt that a governmental entity has not repaid. In addition, to the extent a Fund invests in non-U.S. sovereign debt, it may be subject to currency risk.
Sovereign Debt Risk. An Underlying Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governmental entities (known as sovereign debt securities). These investments are subject to the risk of payment delays or defaults, due, for example, to cash flow problems, insufficient foreign currency reserves, political considerations, large debt positions relative to the country’s economy or failure to implement economic reforms. There is no legal or bankruptcy process for collecting sovereign debt. Strategy Risk for the JPMorgan Inflation Managed Bond Fund. The Underlying Fund’s investment strategies may not work to generate inflation- protected return. There is no guarantee that the use of derivatives and debt securities will mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds. Strategy Risk for the JPMorgan Mid Cap Equity Fund. Although the Underlying Fund invests in both growth and value securities, it may invest more heavily in either growth or value securities depending on market conditions and the convictions of the adviser. To the extent the Underlying Fund invests in growth securities, it will be subject to risks related to growth investing. Specifically, growth stocks may trade at higher multiples of current Tax Risk. REITs in which the Underlying Fund will invest are subject to complicated Internal Revenue Code rules. The tax laws that apply to these investment vehicles have the potential to create negative tax consequences for the Underlying Fund, or for certain shareholders of the Underlying Fund, including, in particular, charitable remainder trusts and non-U.S. taxpayers.
Sovereign Debt Risk the risk that investments in fixed income instruments issued by sovereign entities may decline in value as a result of default or other adverse credit event resulting from the issuer’s inability or unwillingness to make principal or interest payments in a timely fashion Subsidiary Risk: By investing in a commodities subsidiary the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the subsidiary’s investments. The derivatives and other investments held by the subsidiary are generally similar to those that are permitted to be held by the Fund and are subject to the same risks that apply to similar investments if held directly by the Fund. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of the subsidiary will be achieved. The subsidiary is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and, is not subject to all of the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of the subsidiary to continue to operate as it does currently and could adversely affect the Fund that owns the subsidiary. For example, the Cayman Islands currently do not impose any income, corporate, or capital gains tax, estate duty, inheritance tax, gift tax, or withholding tax on a commodities subsidiary. If Cayman Islands
Sovereign Debt Risk. The fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governmental entities (known as sovereign debt securities). These investments are subject to the risk of payment delays or defaults, due, for example, to cash flow problems, insufficient foreign currency reserves, political considerations, large debt positions relative to the country’s economy or failure to implement economic reforms. There is no legal or bankruptcy process for collecting sovereign debt. Investing in the European Union Risk. Investments in certain countries in the European Union are susceptible to economic risks associated with high levels of government debt. Adverse regulatory, economic and political events in European Union member states may cause the fund’s investments to decline in value. Separately, the European Union faces issues involving its membership, structure, procedures and policies. The exit of one or more member states from the European Union, such as the exit by the United Kingdom (UK), would subject its currency and banking system to increased risk. The exit by a member state will likely result in increased volatility, illiquidity and potentially lower economic growth in the affected markets, which may adversely affect a fund’s investments. Additionally, the reintroduction of national currencies in one or more Eurozone countries or the abandonment of the Euro as a currency could have major negative effects on the funds’ investments as well as the ability of the funds’ counterparties to fulfill their obligations. Currency Risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the fund’s securities and the price of the fund’s shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. Dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment in that country loses value because that currency is worth fewer U.S. Dollars. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or Interest Rate Risk. The fund’s yield and value will fluctuate as the general level of interest rates change. During periods when interest rates are low, the fund’s yield may also be low. When interest rates increase, securities held by the fund will generally decline in value. Interest rate changes are influenced by a number of factors including government policy, inflation expectations, and supply and demand. The fund assumes the risk that the value of the security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price. High Yield Securities Risk. High yield securities, whic...
