iShares Global Corporate Bond

ETF description

This ETF provides exposure to a wide range of corporate bonds issued by companies from around the world. It includes bonds from various sectors and regions, offering diversification across different markets. The bonds in this fund are investment‑grade, meaning they are issued by companies that are considered to have a relatively low risk of default.

This ETF could appeal to investors looking for regular income from interest payments, as bonds typically pay fixed interest at regular intervals.

Investors who prioritize income and are comfortable with the moderate risk that comes with corporate bonds may find this ETF a good fit for their strategy.
