Overview

Investment Strategy:

KBND is benchmarked to the Bloomberg China Inclusion Focused Bond Index, which is designed to track the performance of China’s onshore renminbi-denominated bond market. The Fund seeks to invest at least 80% of its assets in a basket of fixed income securities.

KBND Overview:

  • Invests in treasuries (i.e.government bonds) and high-quality corporate bonds and attempts to provide attractive yields relative to other government and investment grade bond markets with a monthly distribution.
  • KBND offers access to the securities included in Bloomberg broad fixed income indexes and investment opportunities within the second largest bond market in the world.
  • For investors seeking diversification1 within their global bond portfolios, KBND offers low correlations to other major bond markets.

Bloomberg China Bond Inclusion Overview:

  • The inclusion of onshore, Renminbi-denominated Chinese bonds in Bloomberg indexes began in April 2019 and was concluded at the end of 2020.
  • The market estimates nearly $150 billion of fund inflows into China’s $13 trillion onshore bond market2.
  • China’s government bonds are a focus of the inclusion and China has already replaced South Korea as the top issuer by weight within the Bloomberg Emerging Market Local Currency Government Bond Index.

Risk Disclosures:

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its stated objectives. Indices are unmanaged and do not include the effect of fees. One cannot invest directly in an index.

This information should not be relied upon as research, investment advice, or a recommendation regarding any products, strategies, or any security in particular. This material is strictly for illustrative, educational, or informational purposes and is subject to change. Certain content represents an assessment of the market environment at a specific time and is not intended to be a forecast of future events or a guarantee of future results; material is as of the dates noted and is subject to change without notice.

The Fund may invest in derivatives, which are often more volatile than other investments and may magnify the Fund’s gains or losses. A derivative (i.e., futures/forward contracts, swaps, and options) is a contract that derives its value from the performance of an underlying asset. The primary risk of derivatives is that changes in the asset’s market value and the derivative may not be proportionate, and some derivatives can have the potential for unlimited losses. Derivatives are also subject to liquidity and counterparty risk. The Fund is subject to liquidity risk, meaning that certain investments may become difficult to purchase or sell at a reasonable time and price. If a transaction for these securities is large, it may not be possible to initiate, which may cause the Fund to suffer losses. Counterparty risk is the risk of loss in the event that the counterparty to an agreement fails to make required payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the derivative.

The Fund depends on the CIBM Program to invest directly in RMB bonds. There is no guarantee the Fund will be able to continue to participate in the program. The Fund is subject to political, social or economic instability within China which may cause decline in value. Emerging markets involve heightened risk related to the same factors as well as increase volatility and lower trading volume. Fluctuations in currency of foreign countries may have an adverse effect to domestic currency values. The components of the securities held by the Fund will be rated by Chinese credit rating agencies, which may use different criteria and methodologies than U.S. entities or international credit rating agencies. The Fund can invest in bonds generally and high yield bonds specifically. High yield bonds involve greater risks of default or downgrade and are more volatile than investment grade securities.

The Fund is subject to interest rate risk, which is the chance that bonds will decline in value as interest rates rise. The Fund may invest in perpetual bonds, which offer fixed return with no maturity date. Perpetual bonds can be more volatile than other types of bonds that have a maturity date and may be more sensitive to a change in interest rates. Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. The Fund’s assets are expected to be concentrated in a sector, industry, market, or group of concentrations to the extent that the Underlying Index has such concentrations. The securities or futures in that concentration could react similarly to market developments. Thus, the Fund is subject to loss due to adverse occurrences that affect that concentration. The Fund is subject to sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt risk. The governmental authority that controls the repayment of sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt may be unwilling or unable to repay the principal and/or interest when due. KBND is non-diversified.

ETF shares are bought and sold on an exchange at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. However, shares may be redeemed at NAV directly by certain authorized broker-dealers (Authorized Participants) in very large creation/redemption units. The returns shown do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Beginning 12/23/2020, market price returns are based on the official closing price of an ETF share or, if the official closing price isn't available, the midpoint between the national best bid and national best offer ("NBBO") as of the time the ETF calculates the current NAV per share. Prior to that date, market price returns were based on the midpoint between the Bid and Ask price. NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time.
