Based on the article and my own additional research, I had an EM Bonds ETF in my portfolio for almost three years. In short, it performed rather poorly. Performance +/- 0, including dividends. That's why I sold it and preferred to switch to equity ETFs and individual shares.
You could say that I chose a bad time period and that three years' performance is not meaningful enough for an ETF, but I feel better about my decision and the performance of the investments in which I reallocated the capital is also better.

@SteelAnacott Well, the last few years have also been down because of rising interest rates (or did you have it before that time?).
I think now would actually be a good time to get in.

@six I had it before and during. The period was certainly not the best. Maybe I'll take another look at the subject. The data in the article speaks for itself. However, I don't want to increase my portfolio to too many positions. That's why I pay attention to what I take on.
