iShares Global High‑Yield Corporate Bond

ETF description

This ETF invests in a broad selection of high‑yield corporate bonds issued by companies from around the world. High‑yield bonds, also known as ‘“junk bonds,”’ typically offer higher interest payments compared to investment‑grade bonds, reflecting the greater risk associated with them. The fund provides exposure to a diverse range of industries and companies, with the goal of generating higher income through interest payments.

This ETF may appeal to investors looking for a higher potential income stream and who are comfortable with taking on more risk in their bond investments.
