Description: HYGV High Yield Value-Scored Bond

The FlexShares High Yield Value-Scored Bond Index Fund (HYGV) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of an index composed of U.S.-dollar denominated high yield bonds from issuers with favorable fundamentals, valuations, and liquidity. The index selection process relies on proprietary scoring models developed by Northern Trust Investments (NTI), making this a rules-based, value-scored strategy rather than a traditional market-cap weighted approach. The fund commits at least 80% of its total assets to securities held in its underlying benchmark, consistent with a passive indexing structure.

As a high yield bond ETF, HYGV provides exposure to below-investment-grade corporate debt, often referred to as junk bonds, which typically carry higher yields and greater credit risk than investment-grade fixed income. Launched in mid-2018 on the NYSE, the fund targets investors seeking diversified access to the U.S. high yield market through a disciplined, factor-driven screening methodology rather than a broad market replication approach.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Credit spreads widen on recession fears
  • Fed rate cuts lift high yield bond prices
  • Rising defaults pressure high yield bond prices
