Past performance (actual or simulated) is not a reliable indicator of future results. Periods greater than one year are annualised, dividends reinvested, index gross. The value of an investment in the
Fund may fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Changes in rates of exchange between currencies may cause the value of investments to decrease or
increase. (Source: Ashmore & JP Morgan)

* We have adopted the JP Morgan EMBI GD as our benchmark since it is more representative of EMLIP's geographical composition than the JP Morgan EMBI. However, since the JP Morgan EMBI
GD only dates from 31/12/1993, the above index returns are calculated using the JP Morgan EMBI before 31/12/1993 and JP Morgan EMBI GD thereafter. (Source: Ashmore & JP Morgan)

Risk Warning: Emerging Markets (EM) carry risks as well as rewards. The fund invests in EM, which may be more volatile than more mature markets, and the value of an investment in the fund
could move sharply down or up. In extreme circumstances, this could result in a total loss of the investment. EM may suffer from liquidity problems; changes in rates of exchange between currencies
may cause the value of investments to decrease or increase; the operational risks of investing are higher than in more developed markets. For a full description of these and further risks, investors
should refer to the fund’s latest Scheme Particulars or (if applicable) other offering document. Please also read the important information outlined overleaf in conjunction with the latest Scheme
Particulars or (if applicable) other offering document before investing. This update provides information about the historical performance of the fund, as required pursuant to FCA FUND 3.2.2. To the
extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, Ashmore may provide investors holding security interests in this fund with additional historical portfolio information that is not routinely
available to other investors in this fund. Ashmore will determine the level of additional information that may be provided. Investors who want to receive such information should make a request to
Ashmore and they may be subject to additional confidentiality requirements. Important Information: Only suitable for Eligible Counterparties, Professional Clients or investors meeting the FCA’s
COBS 4.12 categories, as the fund is an “Unregulated Collective Investment Scheme”, the promotion of which either within the UK or from the UK is severely restricted by statute. Shares in the fund
should only be purchased by persons with professional experience of participating in unregulated schemes, and who understand the high degree and variety of risk involved in emerging market
investment. Interests in this fund are not available for sale in any jurisdiction in which such a sale would be prohibited. Accordingly this document is not available for distribution in any jurisdiction
where the fund has not been approved for sale. The fund is not registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, nor the United States Investment Company Act of 1940 and therefore may
not directly or indirectly be offered or sold in the United States of America or any of its states, territories, possessions or other areas subject to its jurisdiction or to or for the benefit of a United
States Person. This document is issued by Ashmore Investment Advisors Limited (AIAL), which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom. The information
