IBHG offers a 6% yield and is designed for bond ladder strategies, not as a long-term standalone investment. The ETF holds diversified high-yield corporate bonds maturing in 2027, reducing individual company risk. IBHG outperformed broad high-yield ETFs since its inception, with lower volatility.

iShares® iBonds® 2027 Term High Yield and Income ETF stands out by holding bonds maturing in 2027, minimizing interest-rate risk at termination—unlike many so-called 'term' funds. The IBHG ETF offers a 6.76% yield, focusing on high yield and BBB-rated bonds, with most holdings below BB, reflecting elevated credit risk. Compared to investment-grade and Treasury iBonds, IBHG delivers higher yield and positive alpha, but investors must weigh default risk, especially in economic downturns.

The new fund's launch maintains the continuity of the target maturity ETF family.
