iShares Launches the First Index-Based ETF Focused on Emerging Markets Corporate Bonds
New iShares ETF taps into the next stage of emerging markets economic growth, listing same-day on BATS and the London Stock Exchange
April 19, 2012--BlackRock, Inc. announced that its iShares Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) business, the world's largest manager of ETFs, has launched a new fund focused on corporate bonds in emerging market countries.
The iShares Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund (BATS: CEMB) offers broad access to dollar-denominated, investment grade and high yield bonds issued by corporations based in Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. An Irish-domiciled fund with the same exposure listed earlier today on the London Stock Exchange.
The iShares Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund is the first index-based ETF to offer targeted exposure to emerging markets corporate debt. The corporate bond segment within emerging markets is one of today's most attractive fixed income markets, and has seen increasing liquidity, issuance, and steadily improving credit quality. The emerging markets corporate debt market saw an eight-fold increase in issuance in the last ten years, and now rivals the size of the dollar-denominated emerging markets sovereign debt market1.

Volcker Rule Conformance Period Clarified
April 19, 2012--The Federal Reserve Board on Thursday announced its approval of a statement clarifying that an entity covered by section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the so-called Volcker Rule, has the full two-year period provided by the statute to fully conform its activities and investments, unless the Board extends the conformance period.
Section 619 generally requires banking entities to conform their activities and investments to the prohibitions and restrictions included in the statute on proprietary trading activities and on hedge fund and private equity fund activities and investments.
Section 619 required the Board to adopt rules governing the conformance periods for activities and investments restricted by that section, which the Board did on February 9, 2011. Subsequently, the Board received a number of requests for clarification of the manner in which this conformance period would apply and how the prohibitions will be enforced. The Board is issuing this statement to address this question.
