EMLC: This Bond ETF Has Been A Wealth Erosion Vehicle
EMLC, a bond ETF focused on emerging markets, has delivered negative returns over the past decade, while exposing investors to significant duration, currency, and credit risks. One of the main issues with EMLC is the depreciation of local currencies against the U.S. dollar, which has further eroded investor returns compared to USD-denominated bond ETFs like EMB. EMLC's high expense ratio and inadequate yield spread compared to Treasuries make it expensive, with significant risks from emerging market currency devaluation.
