Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified (JPM EMBI-GD) index, denominated in USD, represents the performance of the sovereign debts of approximately sixty emerging countries issued in hard currencies (external debt); and (ii) The J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index Emerging Market Global Diversified (JPM GBI-EM GD), denominated in local currencies, represents the performance of the sovereign debts of sixteen emerging countries issued in local currencies (domestic debt); (the “Benchmark”).
