Our read on EMBD
BMost emerging-market bond ETFs track an index of government debt. EMBD is run by an active team that can also buy corporate issuers and local-currency paper, and it charges less than the group's typical fund.
The fund is actively managed and seeks total return from income and capital appreciation by investing in emerging-market debt.
Why people hold it
- Active management at index-fund pricing: 0.39% a year, below the 0.50% typical for the group and level with its cheapest rival, JPMB.
- Roams wider than the sovereign-only crowd (PCY, JPMB): both government and corporate EM debt, mostly in US dollars, with local currency allowed.globalxetfs.com
- A couple hundred bonds, sub-advised by Mirae Asset Global Investments (USA), with income paid out monthly.globalxetfs.com
Worth knowing
- Thinly traded next to the category's giants, so spreads can be wider and big orders can move the price.
- No index to check the managers against. Results ride on their country and credit calls.globalxetfs.com
- EM debt carries default risk, and any local-currency bonds add a currency swing on top.globalxetfs.com
