BINC: HY Returns, IG Risk, Active Management, And 1 Fear To Keep In Mind

  • iShares Flexible Income Active ETF - An opportunistic fixed income strategy positioned between HY and IG, which since launch has shown controlled volatility and competitive performance. Today, it's positioned with an average rating of BBB+ and an effective duration of 3.51 years, tilted toward an anti-core component, still predominantly U.S.-based (over 60%). Managed by BlackRock and led by Rick Rieder, BINC aims to provide income, and, secondarily, capital appreciation, featuring characteristics that resemble those of a core portfolio component.
