About FEMBX

Templeton Sustainable Emerging Markets Bond Fund Class R is a mutual fund that primarily invests in bonds issued by governments and related entities within emerging market countries. Its core objective is to generate current income, with an emphasis on capital appreciation as a secondary goal. The fund adopts an investment strategy that places significant weight on the sustainability efforts of emerging market issuers, evaluating factors related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria as part of its selection process. With at least 80% of its assets typically allocated to emerging markets debt, the portfolio spans a diverse range of sovereign and quasi-sovereign issuers committed to sustainable practices. Launched in 2013, the fund offers quarterly dividend distributions and typically holds around 70 different securities, providing diversification across regions and issuers. Its focus on sustainable development themes and exposure to emerging economies positions it as a specialized fixed income vehicle for investors seeking both income generation and ESG-aligned investment opportunities in growing global markets.
