Fund info

American Funds Emerging Markets Bond Fund Class F-1 is an open‑end mutual fund focused on emerging‑markets debt. Its primary objective is to deliver a high level of total return over the long term, with a significant emphasis on current income. The strategy invests predominantly in sovereign, quasi‑sovereign, and corporate bonds from developing economies, across both U.S. dollar‑denominated and local‑currency issues, employing derivatives where appropriate. Managed by Capital Research and Management Company, the fund targets broad country and issuer exposure within emerging markets and maintains a multi‑sector approach that spans government and corporate credit. The portfolio is characterized by meaningful non‑U.S. bond allocation and pays regular monthly distributions, reflecting its income orientation. Key portfolio metrics disclosed by the manager include an intermediate effective duration and a yield profile aligned with emerging‑markets debt conditions. The fund’s role in the market is to provide fixed‑income diversification beyond developed markets, offering access to the credit and currency dynamics of developing economies while seeking balanced risk management through fundamental research and active security selection.
