Hedge The Junk In Your Trunk

FYI: (Click On Article Title At Top Of Google)
Call it the Edsel of the ETF world. Like the car, the iShares Interest Rate Hedged High Yield Bond fund is an interesting product launched at the worst possible time. A month after it opened its doors on May 27, high-yield ETFs experienced $3.7 billion in outflows as investors panicked over weak job numbers and geopolitical risk in the Middle East and Ukraine. Unfortunately, the fund offered the wrong kind of hedge and fell 2.1% in July.
Regards,
Ted
