Rolle im Portfolio
SPDR Barclays Emerging Markets Local Bond UCITS ETF offers investors exposure to the market of local currency denominated emerging markets government debt.
The search for higher yield vis-a-vis developed bond markets is the key selling point of emerging market government debt, with those denominated in local currency potentially boosting capital gains via foreign exchange. Investors have also been attracted to EM debt by virtue of its low correlation with traditional (e.g. developed economies) fixed income investments.
The higher expected returns associated with EM debt, are accompanied by a higher risk. Generally speaking, emerging market countries are expected to be less credit worthy than their developed counterparts.
