Description: HYDB Edge High Yield Defensive January 14, 2026

The iShares Edge High Yield Defensive Bond ETF (BATS: HYDB) commits to allocating at least 80 % of its net assets to the securities that compose its benchmark index, and a minimum of 90 % to fixed-income instruments that the fund’s manager believes will best replicate the index’s performance.

Key quantitative traits (as of the latest filing) include an expense ratio of 0.20 %, a weighted-average credit rating around BB-, and a portfolio duration of roughly 4 years, which together suggest moderate sensitivity to interest-rate moves while targeting higher yields than investment-grade bonds. The fund’s performance is closely tied to high-yield spread dynamics-particularly the BAA-Treasury spread-and to macro-economic variables such as the Federal Reserve’s policy stance and corporate default rates, which have been elevated amid the current cycle of tightening credit conditions. Sector exposure is typically weighted toward energy and industrials, reflecting the higher coupon offerings in those industries during periods of commodity-price volatility.
