Demystifying high yield and emerging market debt


While high yield bonds and emerging market debt may carry a higher risk than investment-grade bonds, a number of misconceptions surrounding the asset classes remain.

In this video, two of Capital Group’s fixed income portfolio managers draw on more than 25 years of investment experience to share the evolution they have witnessed in high yield bonds and emerging market debt over their careers.

Risk factors you should consider before investing:

• This material is not intended to provide investment advice or be considered a personal recommendation.

• The value of investments and income from them can go down as well as up and you may lose some or all of your initial investment.

• Past results are not a guide to future results.

• If the currency in which you invest strengthens against the currency in which the underlying investments of the fund are made, the value of your investment will decrease. Currency hedging seeks to limit this, but there is no guarantee that hedging will be totally successful.

• The Prospectus – together with any locally-required offering documentation – set out risks, which, depending on the fund, may include risks associated with investing in fixed income, derivatives, emerging markets and/or high-yield securities; emerging markets are volatile and may suffer from liquidity problems.
