iShares J.P. Morgan USD Emerging Markets Bond UCITS ETF (Acc)

The iShares J.P. Morgan USD Emerging Markets Bond UCITS ETF (Acc) is an exchange-traded fund designed to track the performance of the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Core Index, which is composed of US dollar-denominated sovereign and quasi-sovereign bonds issued by a broad range of emerging market countries. The primary objective of this accumulating ETF is to provide investors exposure to the sovereign debt markets of developing economies, offering a blend of global diversification and participation in the credit risk premiums associated with these nations. Launched in April 2017, the fund uses physical replication through a sampling technique and reinvests income rather than distributing it. Its holdings span over 600 bonds representing governments such as Mexico, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, among others, with a minimum maturity of two years. The fund is recognized for balancing risk and reward, supported by robust risk-adjusted returns and a medium total expense ratio of 0.45% per annum. As such, it plays a significant role for investors seeking exposure to the emerging sovereign and quasi-sovereign fixed income landscape, making it a key instrument for asset allocation strategies focused on global bond diversification and emerging market participation.
