Our view on this Fund
This fund does not feature on the Wealth Shortlist of funds our analysts believe have the potential to outperform their peers over the long term. This is not a recommendation to sell; however, if you are thinking of adding to your investments, we believe the Wealth Shortlist is a good place to start. View funds on the Wealth Shortlist »
This fund offers a simple and low-cost way to invest in emerging market government bonds. These bonds can be higher risk as the chances of an emerging market government defaulting on its bonds is typically higher compared to a developed market government. They usually offer a higher yield to compensate investors for this added risk.
The fund could help diversify an investment portfolio focused on other assets, such as shares, or other types of bonds. Although, funds that just invest in emerging market bonds are a higher risk option, so investors should expect volatility, and it should only make up a small part of a well-diversified investment portfolio.
While we view the fund as a useful way to gain passive exposure to emerging market bonds, it’s not on the Wealth Shortlist as it already features funds that offer exposure to this part of the market and are run by managers we rate highly.
