Saudi Arabia bond mutual funds and ETFs invest the majority of their assets in government and corporate debt of governments and corporations in Saudi Arabia. These funds can be actively or passively managed and may seek to track or outperform a particular benchmark. They may hedge foreign currency risk, or elect to leave themselves exposed to fluctuations in the Saudi Riyal. Depending on their mandate, a Saudi Arabia bond mutual fund or ETF may focus on investment-grade bonds, high-yield (a.k.a. junk bonds), or a mix of credit quality. Nonfinancial corporations are the largest issuers of debt in Saudi Arabia, at 51.64% of GDP as of 2022. Government debt, meanwhile, is 27.5% of GDP as of 2024. Investors purchase Saudi Arabia bond mutual funds and ETFs to get both capital growth and income. These funds can vary significantly in terms of risk. A fund that exclusively invests in short-term Saudi Arabian government debt is likely to be more conservative than a fund that invests in longer-duration bonds.
