Overview
Description
The iShares Broad USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF is an exchange-traded fund that provides investors with diversified exposure to U.S. dollar-denominated high yield corporate bonds. Launched and managed by BlackRock, Inc., this fund invests primarily in bonds rated below investment grade by major credit agencies, targeting companies that offer higher yields due to their increased credit risk. Its holdings span a broad range of sectors and issuers, with the goal of mirroring the performance of the ICE BofA US High Yield Constrained Index through a representative sampling technique.
The ETF plays a significant role in the fixed income market by offering access to a broad basket of sub-investment grade corporate debt, appealing to those seeking higher income potential compared to investment-grade bonds. With a focus on bonds that have at least 18 months original maturity and at least one year to maturity, it ensures exposure across different maturities and issuers in the U.S. high yield landscape. The ETF is a key instrument for investors seeking to diversify credit risk and enhance yield within their fixed income allocations, and its presence on the Santiago Stock Exchange highlights its global accessibility and appeal to both local and international investors.
