About EBNFX
American Funds Emerging Markets Bond Fund Class F-2 is an open‑end mutual fund focused on fixed income from developing economies. Its primary objective is to deliver a high level of total return over the long term, with a substantial emphasis on current income. The portfolio invests across sovereign and corporate issuers in emerging markets and can hold securities denominated in U.S. dollars or local currencies, providing diversified exposure to interest rate and credit dynamics across regions. The fund is managed by Capital Research and Management Company using a multi‑manager approach, drawing on global research to balance yield opportunities and risk in less mature markets. As of mid‑2025, assets are largely allocated to non‑U.S. bonds with an intermediate effective duration, reflecting its role as a dedicated emerging‑markets debt strategy rather than a core bond holding. The fund pays regular monthly dividends and targets income distribution alongside long‑term capital appreciation. Within the fixed‑income landscape, it serves as a specialized tool for accessing emerging‑markets debt, potentially enhancing diversification and income profiles in broader portfolios.
