iShares J.P. Morgan Advanced USD EM Bond UCITS ETF EUR Hedged (Acc)

The iShares J.P. Morgan Advanced USD EM Bond UCITS ETF EUR Hedged (Acc) is an exchange-traded fund that provides diversified access to US dollar-denominated government and quasi-sovereign bonds from a wide range of emerging markets. Its primary function is to replicate the performance of the JP Morgan ESG EMBI Global Diversified (EUR Hedged) index, with a EUR hedging feature that aims to minimize currency risk for euro-based investors. What sets this fund apart is its explicit focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria: issuers with stronger ESG profiles receive higher weights, while those involved in controversial sectors, or that violate UN Global Compact principles, are excluded. The ETF invests across the full credit spectrum—both investment grade and high yield—across over 800 individual holdings, providing broad regional and issuer exposure. It follows a physical sampling replication approach and re-invests interest income (accumulating structure), making it suited for investors seeking long-term, sustainable returns within the emerging market debt asset class. Managing hundreds of millions in assets, this ETF plays an important role for institutional and private investors aiming to combine emerging market debt exposure with responsible investment standards.
