About CMBRX
Columbia Emerging Markets Bond Fund Class R is an actively managed mutual fund focused on fixed income securities from developing countries. Its primary objective is to deliver high total return driven by current income, with capital appreciation as a secondary goal.

The fund employs a hybrid approach to emerging markets debt, allocating across both hard-currency and local-currency instruments to balance yield opportunities with macro and currency dynamics. Positioned within the Emerging-Markets Bond category, it is designed to capture income and spread opportunities characteristic of the asset class, while navigating country risk, interest-rate sensitivity, and currency volatility inherent to developing markets fixed income.
