• Utilizes a passive, index-tracking investment approach to minimize costs

⚠️ Primary Risks

• Credit risk: The fund is exposed to the risk of default or deteriorating creditworthiness of the underlying bond issuers
• Interest rate risk: Bond prices may decline as interest rates rise, impacting the fund's performance
• Emerging markets risk: Investing in emerging markets can be subject to greater political, economic, and liquidity risks
• Currency risk: The fund's returns may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies of the underlying bond issuers

👤 Best For

This ETF may be suitable for investors seeking exposure to high-yield corporate bonds in emerging markets as part of a diversified fixed-income portfolio. It may be appropriate for investors with a higher risk tolerance and a long-term investment horizon, as emerging market high-yield bonds can be more volatile than investment-grade bonds or other fixed-income asset classes.
