Our read on EBND
In short
BMost international bond funds pay you in dollars. EBND owns emerging-market government debt in the local currency (rupiah, real, peso), so the exchange rate is part of the trade, not hedged away. And it costs less than its group's median.
Stated mandate
The fund seeks to track the Bloomberg EM Local Currency Government Diversified Index and provide exposure to fixed-rate, local-currency sovereign debt issued by emerging-market countries.
