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.
