We believe the PIMCO EM Advantage Local Bond Index Source ETF offers exposure to local emerging market sovereign debt via the PIMCO EM Advantage Local Currency Bond Index (“EM Advantage”), an innovative, GDP-weighted index, offering exposure to 12 emerging market countries.
“Due to its exposure to the systemically important emerging market countries via various local currency fixed instruments, the EM Advantage ETF offers investors a lower duration and lower volatility alternative to traditional EM local debt exposure.” says Howard Chan, ETF product manager at PIMCO, EMEA. Year to date, EM Advantage Index has outperformed the J.P. Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Index by 2.7%.

The PIMCO EM Advantage Local Bond Index Source ETF is traded on the London Stock Exchange and has an annual management fee of 0.60%.
