About this ETF
An ETF which seeks to deliver consistent risk-adjusted returns, by considering the full universe of Emerging Markets (EM) hard currency bonds. It invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of sovereign, quasi-sovereign, supranational and corporate debt from EM issuers. The ETF is benchmarked against the JP Morgan EMBI Global Core Index. Its opportunity set includes bonds in the index and bonds that are not index-eligible. The primary focus is on country allocation and security selection to generate excess returns, rather than relying on large thematic or macroeconomic drivers.
