EBND provides a rather plain-vanilla exposure to emerging-market sovereign debts. The fund tracks a broad, market-value-weighted index of bonds maturing in more than one year that are denominated in local currencies, excluding securities rated B or lower. The exclusion of the ultra-short-term end of the market makes it a relatively incomplete view of the broad market. EBND's market-value weighting scheme means the largestand generally most liquidbonds get the heftiest allocations. Nevertheless, institutions are unlikely to get better executions even if they work closely with market makers. In all, EBND is accessible, but due to the nature of the underlying securities it is typically not a viable trading vehicle.
