Did you know?

Asian high yield bonds are denominated in US dollars because Asian companies often need USD to import equipment, service overseas debt, and conduct international trade — making dollar-denominated issuance a natural choice that also broadens their investor base to global fixed income funds. China's property sector was historically the dominant issuer of Asian USD high yield bonds, contributing to severe volatility in the index during the Chinese real estate crisis of 2021-2023, when multiple large developers including Evergrande defaulted on their offshore debt. Despite higher default risks, Asian high yield bonds offer significant yield premiums over investment-grade alternatives, attracting investors who believe issuer-specific risks can be managed through diversification and credit research.
