MSD: Not As Well-Positioned As Its Peers And Likely To Continue Underperforming
2025-09-15 17:08:48 ET
The MS Emerging Markets Debt Fund ( MSD ) is a closed-end fund that income-seeking investors may choose to purchase in an attempt to achieve a very high level of income from the assets that they already have in their portfolios as well as gain exposure to the emerging market debt markets. The fund does fairly well at the provision of income, as its 10.11% current yield is significantly higher than that of any of the major domestic or international bond indices:
Index/ETF | Current Yield |
Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index ( AGG ) | 3.80% |
Bloomberg High Yield Very Liquid Index ( JNK ) | 6.52% |
Vanguard Total World Bond ETF ( BNDW ) | 4.02% |
Vanguard Total International Bond Index Fund ETF Shares ( BNDX ) | 4.34% |
J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Core Index ( EMB ) | 5.09% |
