Barclays Plc says it’s time to change things up in your emerging-market bond portfolio.

Round up all those popular, investment-grade bonds that you feel safe holding in your portfolio -- names like Vale SA and Petroleos Mexicanos -- and sell them. They’ve become too expensive, Barclays says. In their place, load up on cheaper, yet still high-quality debt. These are lesser-known names such as KazMunayGas National Co. and Mexico Generadora de Energia S de RL.
