FYI: So far, 2018 has not been an easy year for high-yield bond ETFs. The two largest funds in the segment—the $15 billion iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG) and the $9 billion SPDR Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Bond ETF (JNK)—have faced sizable asset outflows as investors fret over high valuations and rising interest rates.
But there’s an ETF in this segment that seems to be thriving in these troubled waters, bucking the redemptions trend by gaining modest assets instead. It’s the iShares Interest Rate Hedged High Yield Bond ETF (HYGH).
