Xtrackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond UCITS ETF 1C

Xtrackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond UCITS ETF 1C is an exchange-traded fund that provides investors with targeted exposure to the U.S. high-yield corporate bond market. It tracks the Bloomberg US High Yield Very Liquid ex 144A index, which focuses on a liquid subset of high-yielding, fixed-rate USD-denominated corporate bonds rated Ba1/BB+/BB+ or below, excluding privately placed securities under Rule 144A to enhance accessibility and tradability. The ETF employs a long-only, accumulating strategy, reinvesting interest income without distributions, and remains unhedged against currency risk with USD as its base currency. Structured as a UCITS-compliant vehicle domiciled in Ireland and managed by Xtrackers, it offers diversified access across various sectors of the U.S. corporate credit landscape, appealing to those seeking income generation and portfolio diversification through sub-investment grade bonds that prioritize liquidity over the broader high-yield universe.
