Global bond funds are mutual funds that focus on a wide range of fixed-income and debt securities from around the world. Typically, they will hold domestic bonds as well as international developed and emerging-market bonds. Funds can include sovereign and corporate bonds as well as other IOUs and can be actively managed or track indexes.
To find out detailed information on Global Bond Funds in the U.S. that are appropriately tagged by our analysts, click the tabs in the table below. The data that can be found in each tab includes historical performance, the different fees in each fund, the initial investment required, number of holdings, breakdown of weights by each sector and much more. Each ticker and name links to more detailed data about each fund, including graphs, fund descriptions, details about the fund managers, and other valuable information. The table can be resorted by clicking the first row of any column. Each fund may be in more than one table on our site because they usually have more than one tag associated with them; for instance, a European equity mutual fund may be tagged as “developed markets”, “equity” and “Europe”.
