Did you know?
Emerging market USD bonds pay a 'spread' — an additional yield above US Treasuries — to compensate investors for the higher risk of lending to developing-country governments. This spread has historically ranged from under 200 basis points in calm periods to over 800 basis points during crises, offering active investors the opportunity to capture meaningful excess returns. The JP Morgan EMBI index, which tracks these bonds, is one of the most widely followed benchmarks in global fixed income and covers over 70 sovereign and quasi-sovereign issuers.
