Description: HYG High Yield Corporate Bond February 13, 2026

The iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG) tracks a rules-based index of U.S.-dollar-denominated high-yield corporate bonds that are publicly offered in the United States. The fund is required to hold at least 80 % of its net assets in the index’s component securities and at least 90 % in fixed-income securities of the same type, a structure designed to keep tracking error low.

As of the most recent quarter (Q4 2025), HYG reports an expense ratio of 0.49 % and total assets of roughly $30 billion. The weighted-average yield on the portfolio is about 7.2 % with a weighted-average maturity of 6.5 years, and the average credit quality sits near Baa3/BBB- (S&P/Fitch). High-yield spreads have compressed to roughly 350 basis points over Treasuries, reflecting a still-tight credit market that is highly sensitive to the Fed’s policy stance and recession-risk indicators. Energy-related issuers dominate the sector composition, accounting for about 25 % of holdings, which ties the ETF’s performance to commodity price trends and energy-sector capital spending.
