Description: LQD Investment Grade Corporate December 17, 2025
The iShares iBoxx $ Investment-Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD) seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. iBoxx $ Investment-Grade Corporate Bond Index by allocating at least 80 % of its net assets to the index’s component securities and at least 90 % to fixed-income securities that the manager believes will best replicate the index’s returns.
As of the most recent reporting period, LQD carries an expense ratio of 0.14 %, holds roughly $40 billion in assets under management, and delivers a distribution yield near 3.2 % with a weighted-average maturity of about 12 years and a duration of roughly 6 years. The portfolio is heavily weighted toward industrials (≈30 %), financials (≈25 %) and consumer discretionary (≈15 %) issuers, with the top ten holdings accounting for roughly 20 % of total assets.
Key drivers of LQD’s performance include the Federal Reserve’s policy stance-particularly changes in short-term rates that affect credit spreads-and the overall health of the U.S. investment-grade corporate sector, where widening spreads or deteriorating earnings can pressure bond prices. A tightening monetary environment typically compresses yields, while an economic slowdown can widen spreads and increase default risk.
If you want a deeper, data-rich view of how these factors are currently shaping LQD’s risk-return profile, a quick look at ValueRay’s analytics can help you spot any emerging trends.
