Fixed-Income Investing

High Yield Emerging Market Bonds

High-yield emerging market bonds are issued by governments or companies in developing countries.

Due to their risk, high-yield emerging market bonds offer a substantially higher yield than developed countries government or investment grade corporate bonds. Risk is primarily related to the ability and willingness of the issuing companies or countries to honour their debt obligations.

The interest-rate spread between emerging market bonds and government bonds is even more volatile than high-yield bonds, although both generally respond to similar forces.
