HYG - iShares High Yield Corporate Bond

The iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (NYSE ARCA: HYG) tracks a rules-based index that comprises U.S. dollar-denominated high-yield corporate bonds available in the U.S. market.

Additionally, the fund will invest at least 90% of its assets in fixed income securities that are similar to those included in the underlying index, allowing the fund manager to make adjustments to optimize the fund's tracking ability.

By investing in high-yield corporate bonds, the fund provides exposure to a segment of the fixed income market that can offer higher returns compared to investment-grade bonds. This makes the iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF an attractive option for investors seeking income generation and diversification in their portfolios.
