Vanguard Emerging Markets Bond Fund now available for investment

By Tali Rackner

Minneapolis, Dec. 6 – Vanguard announced that the Vanguard Emerging Markets Bond Fund is now available for investment, according to a press release.

The fund is designed to offer financial advisors and institutions the potential for additional diversification, along with possibly higher returns that can complement the considerable volatility associated with emerging markets debt.

“Emerging market debt is a well-established asset class offering credit exposure and diversification that is complementary to corporate and high yield bonds,” John Hollyer, global head of Vanguard Fixed Income Group, said in the release.

“The fund provides investors with low-cost, broad exposure to emerging fixed income markets.”

The new fund serves as a complement to Vanguard’s corresponding index and ETF offering, Vanguard Emerging Markets Government Bond Index Fund, which was introduced in 2013, the release said.

Valley Forge, Pa.-based Vanguard Fixed Income Group is the investment advisor.
