About EBNCX

American Funds Emerging Markets Bond Fund, Class C is an actively managed mutual fund focused on debt from developing economies. Its primary objective is to deliver a high level of total return over the long term, with current income as a major component. The portfolio invests across a broad spectrum of emerging-markets debt, including both sovereign and corporate issuers, and utilizes bonds denominated in U.S. dollars and local currencies to diversify sources of return and risk. The fund typically emphasizes non‑U.S. government and agency securities, complemented by corporate bonds, with smaller allocations to U.S. Treasuries for liquidity and ballast. Management employs a multi-manager approach within Capital Group’s research-driven framework, blending country selection, currency positioning, and security-level credit insights. Positioned within the Emerging Markets Bond category, the strategy’s exposure to local-currency markets introduces sensitivity to interest rates and exchange rates, while hard-currency holdings link outcomes more directly to sovereign and corporate credit fundamentals. Class C shares feature a higher ongoing expense structure relative to some peers, which is an important consideration in assessing net returns over time. This fund serves investors seeking diversified fixed-income access to emerging economies through a professionally managed, benchmark-aware approach.
