- iShares Interest Rate Hedged Emerging Markets Bond ETF (EMBH) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of USD-denominated bonds issued by emerging market governments, while hedging exposure to interest rate risk associated with the iShares J.P. Morgan USD Emerging Markets Bond ETF (EMB); the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in EMB shares and interest rate swap futures contracts to mitigate U.S. dollar interest rate risk. Core holdings consist primarily of EMB (98.6%), supplemented by open-ended funds and minimal cash positions as collateral for hedging instruments, targeting broad-maturity sovereign debt from emerging markets including countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, Indonesia, and South Africa. The ETF operates in the fixed income segment focused on emerging markets government bonds in non-native currency (USD), serving institutional and retail investors seeking income and diversification with reduced interest rate sensitivity. Launched on July 22, 2015, and managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors under the iShares brand, the ETF is headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, as part of iShares U.S. ETF Trust, with global exposure to emerging market issuers traded on NYSE Arca. The fund maintains a net expense ratio of 0.47%, monthly distributions, and has historically delivered yields around 3.36%, though performance varies with emerging market credit conditions and hedging efficacy. In August 2022, the fund underwent a significant operational change with its liquidation and closure, ceasing trading after reaching a final net asset value of approximately $21.25 per share on August 22, 2022, and fully winding down by August 25, 2022, as announced by BlackRock amid low assets under management and strategic portfolio rationalization. No recent partnerships, acquisitions, funding rounds, or new product launches involving EMBH have been reported since the closure, reflecting BlackRock's broader focus on optimizing its ETF lineup.
