Description: HYDB iShares Edge High Yield November 11, 2025

The iShares Edge High Yield Defensive Bond ETF (BATS: HYDB) commits to holding at least 80% of its assets in the securities that compose its benchmark index, and at least 90% in the fixed-income instruments that the fund’s manager believes will best replicate the index’s performance.

Key data points to watch: the fund’s weighted-average coupon is roughly 6.5% (2024 Q3), its effective duration sits near 4.2 years, and its average credit rating hovers around BB-, indicating a focus on higher-yielding but still “defensive” issuers. Economic drivers such as U.S. corporate default rates, the Fed’s policy stance on interest rates, and the health of cyclical sectors (energy, industrials, and consumer discretionary) materially influence the ETF’s return profile.
