T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Bond Fund
Actively managed global bond fund
As of its 2026 Q2 report, T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Bond Fund held 476 positions with $6.25B in net assets. Its ten largest holdings made up 13.8% of the fund. The PREMX share class costs 0.93% a year. Over the 12 months to May 2026, PREMX returned 14.8%, with dividends reinvested. In 2026 Q2 it added 72 new positions and exited 84.
The fund seeks to provide high income and capital appreciation.
The fund invests at least 80% of assets in debt securities issued by emerging market governments and companies, blending sovereign and corporate bonds selected through research that analyzes political and economic trends and creditworthiness, with a focus on bonds expected to be upgraded. The portfolio may include the lowest-rated and defaulted bonds with no overall limit on junk-rated holdings. The fund ordinarily diversifies across at least three countries but may concentrate in one country for temporary defensive purposes, and it uses interest rate futures and currency forwards to manage duration and foreign exchange exposure.

What the fund is made of
Percentages are of fund net assets. Rounding, liabilities and short positions can make totals differ from 100%.
| Bonds | 96.73% |

| Derivatives | 0.27% |
| Stocks | 0.16% |
Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.
How it has done
PREMX share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 5.53%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jun 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
The 4 share classes hold the same portfolio
| Share class | Expense ratio | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.93% | +14.75% | +39.47% | +14.33% | -3.91% | |
| 1.15% | +14.48% | +38.68% | +13.35% | -3.92% | |
| 0.64% | +15.10% | +40.66% | +15.99% | -3.86% | |
| 0.00% | +15.96% | +43.51% | +20.11% | -3.73% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 6.77pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.35pp a year — not a difference in what they own.

Turnover is how much of the portfolio was replaced in a year.

Debt profile
What this fund holds — value-weighted across its bond and securitized long positions · as of 2026-06-30
Share of the fund's debt by how its coupon behaves — the fact that decides whether a rate move reaches this portfolio at all.
| Fixed rate | 85.4% |
| Floating rate | 13.1% |
| Zero-coupon or unclassified | 1.4% |
Share of the fund's debt value in each maturity band, shortest first.
| <1y | 4.9% |
| 1-3y | 6.5% |
| 3-5y | 15.2% |
| 5-10y | 37.3% |
| 10y+ | 35.2% |
| Unknown | 0.9% |
These three overlap — one holding can be in arrears and paying in kind at once — so they are shown separately and never summed.
Risk profile
Interest-rate and credit-spread sensitivity, both in years · as of 2026Q2
Most of this fund’s sensitivity is to interest rates, with credit spreads carrying a small fraction as much.
Where the loss would come from. The two shocks are the same size, so this is the balance of the fund's two sensitivities rather than a bet on one moving more.
| Interest rates | 76% |
| Credit spreads | 24% |
Filers report the impact of a 0.01% move only, so the total is our own scaling of that one number and overstates the loss on most bonds — read it as approximate, never as precise. The two sensitivities overlap rather than add up: they measure the same positions against different shocks, which is why the durations above are shown side by side and never summed.
Share of the fund's spread duration carried by each credit tier.
| High yield | +1.01 yr |
| Investment grade | +0.80 yr |
Share of duration at each point, shortest first. A positive figure loses value when spreads widen; a negative one offsets — a credit hedge.
| 3 mo | 0.00 yr | 0% |
| 1 yr | 0.24 yr | 4% |
| 5 yr | 1.28 yr | 22% |
| 10 yr | 2.35 yr | 41% |
| 30 yr | 1.93 yr | 33% |
| 3 mo | 0.02 yr | 1% |
| 1 yr | 0.12 yr | 7% |
| 5 yr | 0.62 yr | 34% |
| 10 yr | 0.70 yr | 39% |
| 30 yr | 0.34 yr | 19% |
The two bands measure the same positions against different shocks and do not add — a Treasury carries rate duration and no spread duration, a floating-rate credit the reverse. Rate tenors are also summed across every currency the fund discloses.

Duration contribution in years, summing to the fund's 5.80 yr.
This is where the fund's rate exposure sits, not its currency risk — most international bond funds hedge the currency back to dollars, and the size of those hedges is not in the filing. Tenors are also summed across curves, so a 5-year JPY point and a 5-year USD point are added together.
