iShares € High Yield Corp Bond UCITS ETF

iShares € High Yield Corp Bond UCITS ETF is an exchange-traded fund that provides investors with exposure to a portfolio of high yield corporate bonds denominated in euros. Launched in 2023 and domiciled in Ireland, the ETF tracks the Bloomberg MSCI Euro Corporate High Yield ESG SRI Bond GBP Hedged index, focusing on bonds selected for their alignment with environmental, social, and governance criteria while targeting higher income potential from sub-investment grade issuers across various European sectors including telecommunications, automotive, energy, and financial services. It employs a physical sampling replication method, holding a diversified selection of approximately 358 bonds from prominent issuers such as Telefonica Europe BV, Forvia SE, and EDP SA. The fund is GBP hedged to mitigate currency risk for pound sterling investors and follows an accumulating distribution policy, reinvesting interest income to support capital growth. As a UCITS-compliant product managed by BlackRock's iShares platform, it offers a structured approach to accessing the euro high yield bond market with an emphasis on sustainability screens, appealing to those seeking income-oriented fixed income strategies within a regulated framework.
