IBHFAiShares iBonds 2026 Term High Yield and Income ETF

In short

BSJT A junk-bond rung with a date on it. BSJT holds US high-yield corporate bonds whose effective maturities land in 2029, so you get a dated slice of credit instead of an open-ended bond fund.

Why people hold it

• BSJT Targets one maturity year: US dollar high-yield corporate bonds with effective maturities in 2029, the building block for a laddered bond sleeve.
• Roughly 300 bonds spread the default risk that comes with any single junk-rated issuer.
• Pays monthly, and trades with enough activity to be workable for most retail-sized orders.
• Part of Invesco's BulletShares lineup, so the 2029 rung has an investment-grade sibling (BSCT) if you want the same shape with less credit risk.

Worth knowing

• BSJT 0.42% a year, several times what plain target-maturity bond ETFs charge. High-yield research costs more, but the fee comes straight out of the yield.
• A maturity date is not a credit guarantee. High-yield issuers can default or restructure before 2029, and the dated structure does not change that.
• Sits in the lower half of a crowded target-maturity bond group, mostly on cost rather than on how it runs the portfolio.
