iShares Emerging Markets Bond

ETF description

This ETF invests in bonds issued by governments and companies in emerging market countries. Emerging market bonds tend to offer higher yields than those from developed markets, but they also carry greater risks due to the political and economic volatility that can affect these regions.

This ETF may appeal to investors seeking higher income from their bond investments and are willing to accept the additional risk associated with emerging markets.
