iShares ETF shifts to quarterly distributions for EM bond fund

LONDON - iShares III plc announced Monday that its J.P. Morgan EM Local Govt Bond UCITS ETF (IE00B5M4WH52) will change its distribution frequency from semi-annual to quarterly, effective January 5, 2026.

According to the company's press release statement, the fund will begin making quarterly distributions in April 2026, with subsequent payments scheduled for January, July, and October.

The exchange-traded fund, which focuses on emerging market local government bonds, currently distributes income to investors twice per year. The upcoming change aims to provide more frequent payouts to shareholders.

The company stated that an updated prospectus reflecting this modification will be published around the effective date of the change. The document will be available for inspection at the UK Financial Conduct Authority's National Storage Mechanism and downloadable from the iShares website.

The fund will maintain its existing investment strategy and objectives while implementing this distribution schedule change.

iShares III plc has established regional contact points for investors with questions about the announcement, including dedicated helplines and email addresses for shareholders in the United Kingdom, Germany, and Switzerland.
