GBI-EM Broad
GBI-EM Broad is the all-encompassing index. It includes all eligible countries regardless of capital controls and/or regulatory and tax hurdles for foreign investors

GBI-EM Global
GBI-EM Global is an investable benchmark that includes only those countries that are directly accessible by most of the international investor base. The GBI-EM GLOBAL excludes countries with explicit capital controls, but does not factor in regulatory/tax hurdles in assessing eligibility. Specifically, it includes all GBI-EM countries, as well as the Brazil NTN-F, LTN, and the Colombia local TES tasa fija bond. Classified as the most investable of all three indices, the GBI-EM GLOBAL is effectively the GBI-EM Broad excluding China and India. Although the following restriction may exist, it will not result in country exclusion: Registration of the foreign investor with the local supervisory authorities or notification of transactions is not considered a significant restriction.

GBI-EM
GBI-EM, referred to as the replicable or narrow series, also includes only countries that are low/middle income; however, it is the narrowest and most restrictive series.
