GHYG: Carry Attractive But Spread Compression May Be Limited
iShares US & Intl High Yield Corp Bond ETF offers global high yield exposure, blending US and international sub-investment grade bonds for diversified credit premium. GHYG currently pays a modest yield premium (+21 bps) over US-only high yield ETFs, reflecting higher risk appetite required for non-US exposure. The fund's portfolio is anchored by 66% US weight and a high-quality mix (56% BB, 33% B), balancing carry with moderate risk.
GHYG: Global High-Yield Corporate Credit From BlackRock
GHYG offers global high-yield corporate bond exposure, currently holding only USD-denominated debt and overweight in BB-rated names for a conservative tilt. The fund has a low duration (2.8 years), granular portfolio, and a 6.3% yield, but is vulnerable to sharp drawdowns during market stress. Long-term performance is robust, but recent returns are dampened by the 2022 rate spike; total returns now mirror similar ETFs like HYEM.
