U.S. GAAP includes a topic which establishes a hierarchy for NAV determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. This topic establishes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 - Inputs using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their discretion that are used in determining the fair market value of investments.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Ashmore Emerging Markets Total Return Fund’s investments and other financial instruments, which are carried at fair value, as of January 31, 2022:

This topic establishes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 - Inputs using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their discretion that are used in determining the fair market value of investments.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Ashmore Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund’s investments and other financial instruments, which are carried at fair value, as of January 31, 2022:

U.S. GAAP includes a topic which establishes a hierarchy for NAV determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. This topic establishes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 - Inputs using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their discretion that are used in determining the fair market value of investments.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Ashmore Emerging Markets Corporate Income Fund’s investments and other financial instruments, which are carried at fair value, as of January 31, 2022:

U.S. GAAP includes a topic which establishes a hierarchy for NAV determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. This topic establishes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 - Inputs using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.

U.S. GAAP includes a topic which establishes a hierarchy for NAV determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. This topic establishes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 - Inputs using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their discretion that are used in determining the fair market value of investments.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Ashmore Emerging Markets Frontier Equity Fund’s investments and other financial instruments, which are carried at fair value, as of January 31, 2022:

ASHMORE EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
As of January 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
U.S. GAAP includes a topic which establishes a hierarchy for NAV determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. This topic establishes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 - Inputs using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their discretion that are used in determining the fair market value of investments.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Ashmore Emerging Markets Equity Fund’s investments and other financial instruments, which are carried at fair value, as of January 31, 2022:

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
As of January 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
U.S. GAAP includes a topic which establishes a hierarchy for NAV determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. This topic establishes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 - Inputs using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their discretion that are used in determining the fair market value of investments.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Ashmore Emerging Markets Investment Grade Income Fund’s investments and other financial instruments, which are carried at fair value, as of January 31, 2022:

U.S. GAAP includes a topic which establishes a hierarchy for NAV determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. This topic establishes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 - Inputs using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their discretion that are used in determining the fair market value of investments.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Ashmore Emerging Markets Corporate Income ESG Fund’s investments and other financial instruments, which are carried at fair value, as of January 31, 2022:
