Our read on BHYB
AHigh yield with two filters bolted on: no CCC-rated bonds, no financial issuers. You get the BB and B middle of the junk market, at 0.20% a year, half the typical cost in its category.
The fund uses a passive representative-sampling strategy to track its Underlying Index, investing primarily in U.S.-dollar-denominated below-investment-grade corporate bonds that meet the index's BB-to-B credit-rating range and exclude financial issuers.
Why people hold it
- Costs 0.20% a year against a 0.40% median for high yield bond ETFs. Cheap for a screened portfolio rather than a plain index scoop.
- The rulebook does the credit work: US dollar bonds in the BB-to-B band only, financial issuers excluded. The lowest-rated CCC tier never enters.
- Roughly 1,500 bonds held via representative sampling, with cash paid out monthly.
- Sits among the strongest builds in a crowded high yield field, backed by a multi-billion-dollar asset base.
Worth knowing
- Broad high yield costs less: SCYB at 0.03%, SPHY and Xtrackers' own HYLB at 0.05%, USHY at 0.08%. The screens carry a price.
- Skipping banks, insurers and CCC credits means the ride can diverge from broad high yield benchmarks in both directions.
- Launched in 2023, so the track record is short, and it trades at moderate volume rather than as a category workhorse.
