FIRST TRUST EMERGING MARKETS
FEMB (ticker) is presented here as an exchange-traded fixed-income product that focuses on bonds from emerging-market issuers denominated in local currencies. Investors should know it typically aims to offer higher yields than developed-market government debt, but comes with additional risks: local-currency volatility, sovereign and corporate credit risk, and sensitivity to global risk sentiment and US interest rates. Such instruments can diversify a portfolio’s income sources and provide exposure to growth in developing economies, yet returns can be more volatile and fees and tracking differences matter. Before considering FEMB, check the fund’s prospectus for exact holdings, fee structure, index methodology and distribution policy. Suitability depends on your risk tolerance, investment horizon and income needs; this is general information and not personalised advice. Values rise and fall, and past performance is not a reliable guide to future results.

Yield and income
Emerging-market bonds often pay higher yields than developed debt, which can boost income — though higher yield usually means higher risk.
Currency effects matter
Holdings in local currencies add return potential but introduce exchange-rate volatility; consider hedging and the impact on performance.
Credit and volatility
Credit quality and global sentiment drive price swings; such exposures can diversify portfolios but may increase short-term volatility.
