Our read on EMCB

ETF.net Research

In short

DOne of the original emerging-market corporate bond ETFs (2012): dollar-denominated company debt instead of government paper, picked by an active manager rather than tracked. Fee is 0.61%, above the category norm.

Stated mandate

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

  • Corporate credit, not sovereigns. Index giants like EMB and BEMB lean on government debt; EMCB's mandate is debt from companies domiciled in or tied to emerging markets.wisdomtree.com
  • Actively run, sub-advised by Voya, with portfolio duration kept between two and ten years. Bonds are USD-denominated, so no local-currency exchange-rate exposure.wisdomtree.com
  • Pays monthly, and has been trading since March 2012, through multiple emerging-market credit cycles.

Worth knowing

  • At 0.61% with no waiver, it costs more than the category median and more than index peers BEMB (0.15%), EMHC (0.23%) and EMB (0.39%). Active selection is what the extra buys.
  • One of the smaller, more lightly traded funds in the category, which can mean wider bid/ask spreads than the category's heavyweights.
  • Roughly 170 bonds, mostly intermediate maturities, carrying emerging-market corporate credit and country risk. The JP Morgan CEMBI index is a yardstick here, not a target.wisdomtree.com
