IBHF: With A Potential Recession Looming, Time To Be Conservative (Rating Downgrade)

  • IBHF is a true term fund maturing in December 2026, with holdings primarily in BB, B, and CCC rated high yield bonds. The fund offers a high 30-day SEC yield of 7.2%, but carries significant default risk, especially for CCC-rated bonds. Potential recession and tariff wars increase default risks, making prudence essential despite the fund's decreasing risk profile over time.
