About EBNGX

American Funds Emerging Markets Bond Fund, Class F-3 is an actively managed mutual fund focused on debt from developing economies. Its primary objective is to deliver a high level of total return with a significant income component by investing predominantly in sovereign and corporate bonds from emerging markets, issued in both U.S. dollars and local currencies. The portfolio is largely allocated to non-U.S. bonds, with meaningful exposure to non-U.S. government and agency securities alongside corporate issuers, reflecting a diversified approach across countries and credit qualities. The strategy emphasizes research-driven security selection and risk management, aiming to balance yield opportunities with the distinct macro, currency, and credit risks inherent to emerging markets debt. Regular monthly distributions underscore its income focus, while metrics such as effective duration and yield to worst provide insight into interest-rate sensitivity and return potential. Managed by Capital Research and Management Company, the fund serves investors seeking dedicated emerging markets fixed income exposure within a broader asset allocation, offering potential diversification benefits relative to developed market bonds.
