iShares Global High‑Yield Corporate Bond
Global high‑yield bonds
Details
ETF description
This ETF invests in high‑yield corporate bonds issued by companies from around the world. High‑yield bonds, sometimes called ‘“junk bonds,”’ offer higher interest payments to compensate for the increased risk of default compared to investment‑grade bonds. The fund provides exposure to a diversified portfolio of these bonds, allowing investors to earn income through regular interest payments while taking on more risk than they would with safer bonds.
This ETF may appeal to investors looking for higher income potential and who are comfortable accepting more risk in their bond investments.
