Our read on XBB
AThe top rung of the junk-bond ladder, sold on its own. XBB holds only BB-rated US corporate bonds, the notch just below investment grade, instead of blending them with riskier B and CCC paper.
The fund provides exposure to BB-rated, U.S. dollar-denominated high-yield corporate bonds.
Why people hold it
- Charges 0.20% a year, about half the typical high-yield ETF fee, for a slice most broad funds don't sell separately.
- One rating tier, one decision: you set the credit rung yourself instead of inheriting whatever mix a broad high-yield index holds.bondbloxxetf.com
- The index caps any single issuer at 2%, so no one borrower dominates the couple hundred bonds inside.bondbloxxetf.com
- Pays monthly, from a BondBloxx high-yield lineup that has been splitting the market by credit rating since 2022.prnewswire.com
Worth knowing
- Broad high-yield rivals SCYB, SPHY and USHY charge under a tenth of a percent; the ratings slice costs more.
- BB is the best-rated junk, not investment grade. Default risk and price swings still ride along with the coupon.
- A mid-sized, moderately traded fund rather than a category giant, so trading costs can matter more than with the broad high-yield heavyweights.
