Malaysia Bond

Malaysia bond mutual funds and ETFs invest the majority of their assets... Malaysia bond mutual funds and ETFs invest the majority of their assets in government and corporate debt of Malaysia. These funds can be actively or passively managed and may seek to track or outperform a particular benchmark. They may hedge foreign currency risk, or elect to leave themselves exposed to fluctuations in the Malaysian Ringgit. Depending on their mandate, these funds may focus on investment-grade bonds, high-yield (a.k.a. junk bonds), or a mix of credit quality. The Malaysian government is the largest issuer of bonds in the country, with around US$300 billion of debt outstanding. Investors can purchase these funds for capital growth and income. As a growing east-Asian economy, Malaysia is seen as an attractive emerging market for many investors. However, as it’s not yet a developed market, these fixed income investments tend to be avoided by many conservative investors. Last Updated: 04/25/2024 View more View less
