Index Characteristics
In order to qualify for inclusion an issuer must have risk exposure to countries other than members of the FX G10, all Western European countries, and territories of the US and Western European countries. The FX-G10 includes all Euro members, the US, Japan, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Norway and Sweden.

Individual securities of qualifying issuers must be denominated in US dollars, must have a below investment grade rating (based on an average of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch), must have at least one year remaining term to final maturity, at least 18 months to final maturity at point of issuance.

 

Liquidity

Bonds must have at least USD 300 million in outstanding face value and a fixed coupon.

 

Weighting Methodology

The Index constituents are capitalization-weighted based on their current amount outstanding times the market price plus accrued interest, subject to a 10% country of risk cap and a 3% issuer cap. Countries and issuers that exceed the caps are reduced to 10% and 3%, respectively, and the face value of each of their bonds is adjusted on a pro-rata basis.

 

Monthly Rebalance
Rebalance day occurs on the last calendar day of the month, based on information available up to and including the third business day before the last business day of the month. Issues that no longer meet the criteria during the course of the month remain in the Index until the next month-end rebalancing at which point they are removed from the Index.

Main Risks

Main Risk Factors of a Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF

While the diversification in a multi-asset strategy reduces risk, it is important to remember that all investments carry some risk. The Multi-Asset Funds by VanEck are subject to the four risks below:

  • Liquidity Risks
  • Risk of Investing in Emerging Markets Issuers
  • High Yield Securities Risk
Icon

Exists when a particular financial instrument is difficult to purchase or sell. If the relevant market is illiquid, it may not be possible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous or reasonable price, or at all.

Icon

Investments in emerging market countries are subject to specific risks and securities are generally less liquid and less efficient and securities markets may be less well regulated. Specific risks may be heightened by currency fluctuations and exchange control; imposition of restrictions on the repatriation of funds or other assets; governmental interference; higher inflation; social, economic and political uncertainties.

Icon

The prices of junk bonds are likely to be more sensitive to adverse economic changes or individual issuer developments than higher rated securities possibly leadong to junk bond issuers not being able to service their principal and interest payment obligations. The secondary market for securities that are junk bonds may be less liquid than the markets for higher quality securities.
