iShares Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF

EMHY tracks an index comprising USD denominated emerging markets high yield bonds.

Bonds are increasingly attractive, especially in emerging markets, with the iShares J.P. Morgan EM High Yield Bond ETF offering high yields and diversification. EMHY focuses on high-yield sovereign and corporate bonds from emerging markets, reducing currency risk for U.S. investors and offering a 7.08% SEC yield. The fund's diverse portfolio includes 664 bonds, with significant exposure to sovereign debt, industrial sectors, and various emerging economies like Turkey and Brazil.

EMHY: A Solid Way To Access Emerging Market Bonds

EMHY focuses on U.S. dollar-denominated high yield bonds issued by governments and corporations in emerging market countries. The fund holds a mix of sovereign and corporate bonds, with over 53% allocated to sovereign names and the rest in corporate and agency sectors. Notable holdings include Turkey, Pemex (Mexico's state-owned oil company), Brazil, and a significant exposure to Argentina.

EMHY: Not A Good Entry Point

EMHY invests in high yield bonds in the emerging markets. Distress ratio of non-investment grade bonds was very high in the past recessions and will likely spike in the upcoming recession as well.

EMHY: Despite Down Nearly 25% In 2022, The Time Is Still Not Right To Buy

EMHY provides exposure to emerging market high yield sovereign and corporate bonds. It pays a trailing 7.0% distribution yield.

EMHY: Not Worth The Risk

The iShares J.P. Morgan EM High Yield Bond ETF now offers a yield of 10.7%, which is particularly attractive considering the fund's relatively low volatility compared with EM stocks. The fund should be attractive for any investors looking to generate double-digit returns but with a lower degree of risk relative to stocks.

Central banks across emerging markets have reacted to elevated inflation by significantly tightening monetary policy, in some cases, well ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank. After largely synchronized rate-hiking cycles across EM, monetary policies could once again begin to diverge among individual countries.

Performance of emerging markets local currency bonds has been negatively impacted by the U.S. dollar's strength since mid-year, despite the higher real yields and upside growth surprises in many emerging markets. Currency returns can be volatile, and external factors can have a bigger short-term impact on an emerging markets currency (EMFX) even if relatively attractive fundamentals may provide longer-term support.

Technical Tailwinds May Lift EMFX

We have seen a sharp growth in the issuance of not only green bonds but also sustainability bonds and social bonds, which are closely related. When thinking about issuance outside of the corporate space, sovereigns and state-owned enterprises in Latin America are leading in that respect, with Asia closely following.

The Green Bond Potential In Emerging Markets

While emerging markets offer exciting opportunities, they also pose challenges that are significant and entangled. This is particularly relevant for investors in EM corporate bonds. Over the last few years, the emerging market corporate bond sector has grown enormously and generated compelling risk-adjusted returns.

Emerging markets offer attractive alternatives to fixed income investors searching for yield amid the trillions of dollars of negative-, zero-, and low-yielding debt globally. Within emerging market hard currency investment grade bonds, we think it is prudent to be shorter duration or at least hedge the Treasury risk component, given the low yield per unit of duration today.
