Our read on BSJS
CJunk bonds with an end date. BSJS holds roughly 180 high-yield corporate bonds that all mature in 2028, then winds down around December 15, 2028 and pays out cash, so it behaves more like a single bond than a perpetual bond fund.
The Fund seeks to track the performance of a high-yield corporate bond index composed of US-dollar-denominated bonds maturing in 2028. It uses sampling, rebalances monthly, and is scheduled to terminate around December 15, 2028.
Why people hold it
- Defined maturity: the fund is scheduled to terminate around December 15, 2028 and distribute cash, giving you a bond-like end date instead of a portfolio that rolls on forever.invesco.com
- Spreads credit risk across roughly 180 US-dollar high-yield bonds and pays monthly, instead of leaning on one junk issuer's coupon dates.
- Sibling BulletShares funds cover other maturity years (BSCT for 2029, BSCU for 2030), so ladder rungs come off a single shelf.invesco.com
Worth knowing
- Fees run 0.42% a year versus roughly 0.10% for the typical target-maturity bond fund; investment-grade and Treasury rungs like VBCB (0.08%) and IBTJ (0.07%) cost far less.
- High yield means real default and downgrade risk, so the cash returned at termination reflects what the bonds actually pay, not a fixed par value.invesco.com
- In a peer group stacked with investment-grade and Treasury ladders, it lands in the lower half overall, with cost the main drag.
