Summary

IShares JPMorgan $ Emerging Markets Bond ETF is an interesting proposition for investors seeking exposure to emerging-market bonds denominated in US dollars. The compound benefits of low fees relative to actively managed peers and the broad diversification of issuers in the portfolio add up over the long term and place the strategy in good stead to deliver returns over the Morningstar Category average.
