IBHG: A True 2027 High-Yield Bond Term ETF Rates A Buy
iShares® iBonds® 2027 Term High Yield and Income ETF stands out by holding bonds maturing in 2027, minimizing interest-rate risk at termination—unlike many so-called 'term' funds. The IBHG ETF offers a 6.76% yield, focusing on high yield and BBB-rated bonds, with most holdings below BB, reflecting elevated credit risk. Compared to investment-grade and Treasury iBonds, IBHG delivers higher yield and positive alpha, but investors must weigh default risk, especially in economic downturns.
