EMCB Profile
The WisdomTree Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund is an actively managed investment fund that focuses on corporate debt securities from emerging markets. The fund's investment strategy involves allocating at least 80% of its net assets, including any borrowings for investment purposes, into corporate bonds issued by companies in these regions. This approach is designed to provide investors with exposure to the potentially higher yields and growth opportunities available in emerging markets' corporate debt sectors.
The fund's management aims to achieve a balanced and stable portfolio by targeting an aggregate duration between two and ten years under normal market conditions. This duration strategy is intended to help manage interest rate risk while seeking to optimize returns from corporate debt investments. By maintaining a strategic duration range, the fund seeks to balance the potential benefits of longer-term investments with the stability offered by shorter-term securities.
In addition to its core investments in corporate bonds, the fund may allocate up to 20% of its net assets to derivatives, including swaps and forward currency contracts. These derivatives are used to manage various risks, such as currency fluctuations and interest rate changes, and to enhance the fund’s overall return profile. The use of derivatives provides flexibility and additional tools for managing the fund's exposure to emerging markets' financial conditions.
The WisdomTree Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund is characterized by its non-diversified nature, focusing its investments on a specific segment of the fixed income market. This concentrated approach allows the fund to target emerging markets' corporate debt opportunities with greater precision, aiming to capitalize on the growth potential and yield advantages inherent in these regions. As such, it represents a specialized option for investors seeking to gain exposure to emerging markets through corporate bonds.
