iShares € High Yield Corp Bond ESG SRI UCITS ETF

iShares € High Yield Corp Bond ESG SRI UCITS ETF is an exchange-traded fund managed by BlackRock that provides investors with exposure to euro-denominated high yield corporate bonds selected for their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) and socially responsible investment (SRI) characteristics. Launched on November 12, 2019, and domiciled in Ireland, the ETF tracks the Bloomberg MSCI Euro Corporate Sustainable and SRI Index, aiming to deliver total returns through capital appreciation and income while emphasizing sustainable practices. It employs a physical replication method, passively mirroring the index by holding underlying bonds in similar proportions, with an accumulating distribution policy that reinvests income rather than paying dividends. Featuring a low expense ratio of 0.25%, the fund has grown substantially, managing over €3.7 billion in assets under management as of recent data. This ETF plays a key role in the fixed-income market by offering a blend of higher-yield potential from sub-investment grade corporates and rigorous ESG screening, appealing to investors seeking responsible fixed-income strategies within the European bond landscape.
