Our read on EMCB
DA 2012-vintage take on emerging markets that skips the stocks: dollar bonds from EM-headquartered companies, picked by an active credit team instead of tracked by an index, with income paid monthly.
The Fund seeks a high level of total return from income and capital appreciation by investing in corporate debt issued by entities domiciled in or economically tied to emerging-market countries.
Why people hold it
- Actively managed rather than index-tracking. WisdomTree hands the portfolio to Voya Investment Management, whose team picks issuers in a corner of the bond market where pricing is often uneven.wisdomtree.com
- The bonds are US-dollar denominated, so you take emerging-market corporate credit risk without the local-currency swings that come with EM local-debt funds.wisdomtree.com
- Pays monthly, and the portfolio spreads across roughly 170 bonds from companies headquartered across emerging Asia, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East.wisdomtree.com
Worth knowing
- 0.60% a year sits above the median for its emerging-markets peer group, where the low-cost leaders are index equity funds like VEXC and XCEM, not active bond portfolios.
- A small fund that trades thinly, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than in the household-name EM funds.
- Corporate credit means issuer default risk stacked on country risk, and WisdomTree notes these markets are generally less liquid than developed ones.wisdomtree.com
