Our read on NUHY
BHigh yield with a conscience filter. NUHY tracks a Bloomberg MSCI index that screens junk-bond issuers on ESG data and leans toward the market's more tradable corners, at a fee below what the typical high-yield ETF charges.
The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the investment results of the Bloomberg MSCI U.S. High Yield Very Liquid ESG Select Index.
Why people hold it
- Costs 0.30% a year, under the 0.40% median for high-yield bond ETFs.
- The ESG screen is written into the mandate, not bolted on: the fund's stated job is tracking the Bloomberg MSCI U.S. High Yield Very Liquid ESG Select Index.
- Stays close to that benchmark in practice, one of the tighter implementations among high-yield ETFs.
- Spreads the credit risk across roughly 400 bonds and pays income monthly.
Worth knowing
- The shares themselves trade thinly next to the category's giants, which can mean wider spreads on the way in and out.
- Nuveen's own NHYB is built on the same declared index for 0.08%, a meaningfully cheaper route to the same exposure.
- This is below-investment-grade credit. Default risk is real, and these bonds can slide alongside stocks when markets turn.
