Global fixed income with high yield.

ETF market is booming. On the other side the old kind of exchange traded mutual funds are loosing vogue. Currently you can find plenty of ETF specialty like global equity, sector's niche, currency ETF and also with fixed income. But the offer for fixed income ETF is quite limited. Mostly focused only on US government, corporate and municipal bonds. Investors looking for global exposure can choose among closed end funds. Except US and other major economies you can find also very exotic investment. I've listed below the highest yielding CEF. Majority of them are keeping bonds from emerging markets like Brazil, Russia, Turkey, Mexico, Eastern Europe. High yield is compensated by lower rating than US bonds are having.
