M*: World-Bond Funds Grapple With Japan's Negative Yields
FYI: Managing world-bond funds has become much more difficult because the overseas government debt market is awash with roughly $13 trillion in bonds sporting negative yields. Japanese government bonds, hereafter JGBs, represent the vast majority of this debt, more than 4 times as much coming from France or Germany, which have issued the next-largest amounts.
