EMHY focuses on USD denominated high-yield debt issued by governments and corporations in emerging markets. The fund invests in government securities with 2.5 years to maturity and in corporate debts with 5 years until maturity. Its focus on dollar-denominated bonds gives it a distinct return and exposure profile versus a comprehensive, local-currency debt portfolio. The dominant players in this marketBrazil and Turkeyare not necessarily issuers found in broad, sovereign emerging market debt funds. The elimination of currency impact should serve to mitigate volatility considerably. As of March 2, 2020, the Fund tracks the J.P. Morgan USD Emerging Markets High Yield Bond Index. Prior to that, the fund follows the Morningstar Emerging Markets High Yield Bond Index.
