iShares $ High Yield Corp Bond ESG SRI UCITS ETF USD (Acc)

iShares $ High Yield Corp Bond ESG SRI UCITS ETF USD (Acc) is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the Bloomberg MSCI US Corporate High Yield ESG SRI Bond Index, providing exposure to a diversified portfolio of non-investment grade, US dollar-denominated corporate bonds from issuers demonstrating superior environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices compared to their industry peers. Launched on November 12, 2019, and domiciled in Ireland, this UCITS-compliant ETF employs a sampling technique to replicate the index, accumulating interest income from coupons for reinvestment rather than distributing it. With approximately 805 million euros in assets under management, it focuses on sub-investment grade high-yield bonds rated BB+ or equivalent, emphasizing sustainable business practices in the US corporate credit market. The fund serves investors seeking total returns from both capital appreciation and income in the high-yield segment, integrated with socially responsible investing principles, while adhering to stringent regulatory standards for transparency and investor protection. Key holdings include issuers like CCO Holdings LLC and TransDigm Inc., spanning various sectors. This ETF plays a vital role in offering ESG-screened access to higher-yielding fixed income opportunities.
