Our read on HYS
In short
BMost junk-bond ETFs buy the whole market. HYS buys only the front end: US high-yield corporate bonds maturing inside five years, which dials down interest-rate sensitivity while keeping the credit exposure. PIMCO has run it since 2011.
Stated mandate
The Fund seeks total return that closely tracks the ICE BofA 0-5 Year US High Yield Constrained Index before fees and expenses, using an indexing and representative-sampling approach.
