This index is constructed from a combination of two primary asset types: it holds long positions in high-quality corporate bonds, denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by companies based both in the United States and abroad. Alongside these, it maintains short positions in U.S. government debt instruments, specifically Treasury notes or bonds. The aggregate interest rate sensitivity (duration) of these short Treasury positions is intentionally kept roughly equivalent to that of the investment-grade corporate bonds, serving to hedge against potential interest rate movements.

Additionally, it ensures that a minimum of 80% of its overall assets are invested in investment-grade bonds. ### What is the expense ratio of IGHG?

IGHG's current duration is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website. ### What is the credit quality of IGHG? IGHG's credit quality breakdown (the share of holdings rated AAA through CCC and below) is published on the fund's factsheet. Higher-quality (investment-grade) funds yield less but carry less default risk than high-yield / junk bond funds. ### What is the yield to maturity of IGHG? Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return you'd earn from IGHG if every bond in the portfolio is held to maturity at the current price. IGHG's YTM is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website.
