The iShares Edge High Yield Defensive Bond ETF (HYDB) is a passively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of an underlying index by holding its component securities. The fund commits at least 80% of its assets to the indexs component securities and at least 90% to fixed income securities of the types included in that index, with BlackRock Fund Advisors (BFA) managing the portfolio to maintain index alignment.
As an ETF in the high yield bond category, HYDB focuses on below-investment-grade (often called junk) corporate debt issued by U.S. companies, with the defensive positioning designed to tilt exposure toward issuers considered to have stronger credit characteristics within the high yield universe. The fund is structured by iShares, the ETF brand of asset manager BlackRock, and trades on the BATS exchange.
