The new fund will target a 6% gross yield and top-down as well as bottom-up insights will inform security selection.
Commenting on the launch, Titherington said: "Broadening the emerging markets opportunity set to incorporate both equity and debt has the potential to provide strong risk-adjusted returns and a stable source of income.
"Investors are increasingly realizing emerging markets can be a source of growth as well as yield, but are mindful of managing volatility. Combining debt and equity exposure can offer diversification," Titherington added.
