Our read on CORP
BPIMCO is famous for active bond management. CORP is the opposite: since 2010 it has simply followed the ICE BofA US Corporate Index across roughly 1,400 investment grade corporate bonds, paying income monthly.
The Fund seeks total return that closely follows the ICE BofA US Corporate Index before fees and expenses, normally investing at least 80% of assets in the index's component securities.
Why people hold it
- Narrow mandate, honored: at least 80% of assets in components of the ICE BofA US Corporate Index, and it has tracked that benchmark closely.
- Whole-market credit exposure, roughly 1,400 bonds across the maturity curve, while highly ranked peers like IGSB and IGIB carve off a single maturity band.
- Trading since 2010, a billion-dollar-plus fund that distributes monthly inside a standard 1940 Act ETF wrapper.
Worth knowing
- Price is the trade-off: 0.41% a year against a 0.19% cohort median, and USIG follows the same index for 0.04%.
- Moderately traded rather than a volume leader, so spreads can widen in choppy markets. Limit orders are the usual tool.
- Full maturity range means more interest-rate sensitivity than short-duration corporate peers such as IGSB.
