Emerging market countries like Brazil, Russia, India and China are making the move to more democratic, free-market societies. And by opening their doors to foreign investors, carefully managing their debt levels and developing profitable trading relationships with the rest of the world, emerging markets have dramatically improved their investment appeal.

Why invest in emerging market bonds today?

Quality
On most measures of economic health (growth rates, financial resources and debt levels) many emerging markets are in better shape than developed markets, which are struggling with lower economic growth rates and mountains of debt after the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009.

Performance
New economic policies combined with rapid growth in manufacturing and natural resource industries have helped position emerging markets as the engine of growth for the global economy. Over the past 10 years investors in emerging market bonds were rewarded with solid returns.

Yield
With over 50% of emerging market bonds having investment-grade ratings, emerging market bonds pay higher yields than investment grade bonds, but with less credit risk than a typical high-yield corporate bond portfolio (see chart below).
