About BEMB
The Fund seeks to track the investment results of the J.P. Morgan EM Sovereign and Corporate Credit Core Index (the “Underlying Index”), which was developed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates (the “Index Provider” or “J.P. Morgan”). The Underlying Index is composed of U.S. dollar-denominated bonds issued by sovereign, quasi-sovereign and corporate issuers in emerging markets (“EM”), as defined by the Index Provider. The Underlying Index is market capitalization-weighted subject to diversification constraints that aim to provide a more even distribution of weights across the constituent countries. Bonds are eligible for inclusion in the Underlying Index if they are issued by (i) an EM sovereign; (ii) an EM quasi-sovereign entity, defined as an entity that is 100% guaranteed or 100% owned by the government; or (iii) a corporate entity that is headquartered in an EM country, that has 100% of its assets in EM countries or that has 100% of assets securing the issue in EM countries. Corporate issuers must be domiciled in Africa, Asia (excluding Japan), Eastern Europe, Middle East or Latin America. For sovereign and quasi-sovereign issuers, country eligibility is based on gross national income per capita or gross domestic product indexed to purchasing power. Some countries in the Underlying Index that are classified as EM by the Index Provider may be classified as frontier markets by other index providers or treated as such by certain market participants. Eligible sovereign and quasi-sovereign issues must have a current face amount outstanding of at least $1 billion. Eligible corporate issues must have a current face amount outstanding of at least $500 million. All securities in the Underlying Index must be U.S. dollar-denominated and have at least 2.5 years to maturity to be included and a remaining maturity of at least one year at the time of rebalancing to stay in the Underlying Index. There are no ratings restrictions on either the individual bonds or the country of risk. As a result, the Underlying Index consists of both investment-grade and non-investment-grade bonds (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”). The Underlying Index may include fixed-rate, floating-rate and capitalizing/amortizing bonds, as well as privately issued securities, including those that are normally purchased pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Convertible bonds, inflation-linked instruments and defaulted corporate bonds are excluded. The Index Provider uses market capitalization weighting subject to diversification constraints, which are designed to limit the weights of countries in the Underlying Index with greater debt outstanding by applying an overall 10% cap on country weight and reallocating excess weight to countries with lower debt outstanding. The Underlying Index is rebalanced on the last U.S. business day of each month. As of October 31, 2024, the Underlying Index included issuers in 67 EM countries, and a significant portion of the Underlying Index included sovereign and corporate bonds, including bonds of companies in the financials industry or sector. The components of the Underlying Index are likely to change over time. BFA uses an indexing approach to try to achieve the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund does not try to “beat” the index it tracks and does not seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear overvalued. Indexing may eliminate the chance that the Fund will substantially outperform the Underlying Index but also may reduce some of the risks of active management, such as poor security selection. Indexing seeks to achieve lower costs and better after-tax performance by aiming to keep portfolio turnover low in comparison to actively managed investment companies. BFA uses a representative sampling indexing strategy to manage the Fund. “Representative sampling” is an indexing strategy that involves investing in a representative sample of securities that collectively has an investment profile similar to that of an applicable underlying index. The securities selected are expected to have, in the aggregate, investment characteristics (based on factors such as market value and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics (such as return variability, duration (i.e., a security's price sensitivity to a change in interest rates), maturity or credit ratings and yield) and liquidity measures similar to those of an applicable underlying index. The Fund may or may not hold all of the securities in the Underlying Index. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of the Underlying Index, and the Fund will invest at least 90% of its assets in fixed income securities of the types included in the Underlying Index that BFA believes will help the Fund track the Underlying Index. The Fund will invest no more than 10% of its assets in futures, options and swaps contracts that BFA believes will help the Fund track the Underlying Index as well as in fixed income securities other than the types included in the Underlying Index, but which BFA believes will help the Fund track the Underlying Index. Cash and cash equivalent investments associated with a derivative position will be treated as part of that position for the purposes of calculating the percentage of investments included in the Underlying Index. The Fund seeks to track the investment results of the Underlying Index before fees and expenses of the Fund. The Fund may lend securities representing up to one-third of the value of the Fund's total assets (including the value of any collateral received). The Underlying Index is sponsored by J.P. Morgan, which is independent of the Fund and BFA. The Index Provider determines the composition and relative weightings of the securities in the Underlying Index and publishes information regarding the market value of the Underlying Index. Industry Concentration Policy. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent that the Underlying Index is concentrated. For purposes of this limitation, securities of the U.S. government (including its agencies and instrumentalities), repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government securities, and securities of state or municipal governments and their political subdivisions are not considered to be issued by members of any industry.
