iShares BB Rated Corporate Bond ETF

HYBB tracks a market value-weighted index that only includes bonds with a credit rating of BB.

Credit spreads are expected to rise due to small-cap stock concerns about higher rates impacting leveraged companies. iShares BB Rated Corporate Bond ETF offers diversified exposure to BB-rated US corporate bonds. HYBB has a sector composition heavy on Consumer Cyclical bonds, potentially risky in a recession, but offers higher yields and diversification benefits.

HYBB: One To Consider After A Credit Event

The iShares BB Rated Corporate Bond ETF focuses on BB rated fixed income securities in the US corporate debt market. Credit spreads are too low given the risks to corporate debt from the uncertain economic situation and impending maturity walls.

HYBB: Credit Spreads Historically Low

Junk bonds offer higher risk for higher yield, but the overall junk bond market is too risky. HYBB is a unique ETF that holds BB-rated corporate bonds, offering more risk and yield. BB bonds have shown resiliency in turbulent times compared to its other junk-rated peers.

HYBB: 'BB'ump Up Your Yield For Just A Little More Risk

iShares BB Rated Corporate Bond ETF is a fixed income exchange traded fund. HYBB's holdings consist mostly of BB credits, with the largest sectoral allocation in consumer cyclicals. BB credits represent the first band of the high yield universe, and exhibit the lowest probabilities of default when compared to 'B' and 'CCC' names.

HYBB: Not The Conservative High Yield Fund You Expected

The iShares BB Rated Corporate Bond ETF (HYBB) provides exposure to high-quality high yield bonds but has historically underperformed the broader high-yield market. Investors seeking high-quality high-yield bonds should consider the VanEck Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF (ANGL) instead. Fallen angels, like those included in the ANGL ETF, have shown better credit characteristics and the potential for outperformance.

HYBB: Save Your Time And Consider ANGL Instead

HYBB is a less risky alternative to other junk bond ETFs like JNK, investing primarily in higher-tier BB rated bonds. With a 30-day SEC yield of about 7.1%, HYBB offers a higher yield than investment-grade corporate bond ETFs like VTC. HYBB is a suitable investment for those who believe in a mild recession and want to take risks in the market while avoiding extreme risks.
