Description: EMB J.P. Morgan USD Emerging

The iShares J.P. Morgan USD Emerging Markets Bond ETF (EMB) is a passively managed fund that tracks a broad, U.S. dollar-denominated emerging markets debt index. It commits at least 80% of its assets to the securities in the underlying index and at least 90% to fixed income securities of the types represented in that index, with the benchmark measuring the total return of actively traded external sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt instruments issued by emerging market countries.

As one of the largest exchange-traded products in the emerging markets bond category, EMB offers investors exposure to USD-denominated EM external debt, which insulates U.S. investors from local currency fluctuations but leaves them exposed to sovereign credit risk. The fund uses a representative sampling indexing approach typical of iShares fixed income ETFs, and it was listed on NASDAQ in December 2007.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Fed rate hikes lift dollar, pressuring emerging market bond returns
  • Rising US Treasury yields drain capital from emerging market debt
  • Emerging market sovereign default risks spark outflows from EM bond funds
