Is there an ETF or Mutual Fund that invests in high-yield sovereign bonds? I'm thinking Greece, Italy, Argentina, etc. But would like to see a meaningful stake in Greece as the highest yielder.
BTW I'm not crazy. I'm considering this for a small fraction of the VP.
Thanks

Re: how to get exposure to Greek bonds?
Just out of curiosity what is your investment thesis behind Greek bonds? If I were into speculative investments I might consider shorting them. But I don't see a viable argument for going long on Greek debt, even as a trade. They are incredibly high risk and it's all but certain that at some point they will be forced into some sort of (further) default. Bear in mind they have already imposed a huge haircut on banks holding their bonds.
Trumpism is not a philosophy or a movement. It's a cult.

Let's just say, it's for the contrarian portion of my VP. The stronger the bearish argument, the more I want to buy it
