Philippines Bond

Philippines bond mutual funds and ETFs invest the majority of their assets... Philippines bond mutual funds and ETFs invest the majority of their assets in government and corporate debt of the Philippines. 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 Peso. 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. As of 2023, total outstanding Philippines government debt was nearly US$250 billion. At US$15 billion, U.S. investors were the largest single creditor among foreign nations. Investors can purchase these funds for both capital growth and income, and to benefit from expected growth in this Emerging Market economy. These investments may be appropriate for aggressive investors. Last Updated: 04/25/2024 View more View less
