Xtrackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond
Global Corporate Bonds
Details
ETF description
This ETF focuses on bonds issued by companies with lower credit ratings, often referred to as high‑yield or non‑investment‑grade bonds. These bonds typically offer higher interest payments compared to bonds issued by governments or companies with stronger credit ratings. However, they also carry a greater risk that the issuing company may struggle to repay its debt.
This ETF may appeal to investors who are looking for exposure to corporate bonds with higher interest payments and who are comfortable with the increased risk that comes with lending to companies with lower credit ratings.
