iShares EUR Corp Bond ex‑Financials

ETF description

This ETF provides exposure to a range of investment‑grade corporate bonds, but it specifically excludes bonds issued by companies in the financial sector, such as banks and insurance firms. Instead, it focuses on bonds issued by businesses in other industries, including areas like energy, telecommunications, healthcare, and manufacturing. These bonds are issued in euros and must meet certain quality standards, meaning they are considered relatively reliable in terms of the likelihood of repayment.

This ETF may appeal to investors who are looking for income through bond investments but prefer to limit their exposure to financial firms. It could also suit those who want to diversify their bond holdings by focusing on non‑financial sectors.
