Our read on IQHI
CMost of the big bond ETFs are index trackers running on three basis points. IQHI is the other kind: an actively run portfolio with a one-line job, maximize current income, spread over roughly 400 bonds and paying monthly.
The Fund seeks to maximize current income.
Why people hold it
- The mandate is one sentence: seek to maximize current income. No index to hug, no benchmark tracking error to decode.
- Income shows up monthly, and it comes from roughly 400 bonds rather than a handful of concentrated bets.
- Active credit picking for 0.40% a year, in the same neighborhood as the typical bond ETF's 0.36%.
Worth knowing
- The index heavyweights in this category (BND, SPAB, SCHZ) charge 0.03%. You are paying roughly ten times that for a manager's judgment call.
- Thinly traded compared with the category's giants, so limit orders matter and spreads can widen when credit markets get jumpy.
- Launched in 2022, so the track record does not yet span a full credit cycle.
