XHYD Profile
The BondBloxx US High Yield Consumer Non-Cyclicals Sector ETF targets investment in high-yield, below-investment grade bonds issued by companies within the consumer non-cyclicals sector. This sector includes industries such as food and beverage, household products, and healthcare, which tend to be less sensitive to economic cycles and consumer spending fluctuations compared to cyclical sectors. The ETF is designed to offer investors access to potentially higher yields associated with lower credit ratings within this more stable sector.
In normal market conditions, the fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, including any borrowings for investment purposes, in bonds from the consumer non-cyclicals sector. These bonds are typically issued by companies with credit ratings below investment grade, which are often higher yielding due to the increased credit risk. The fund may obtain this exposure either directly by purchasing the bonds or indirectly through financial instruments such as derivatives.
The ETF employs a non-diversified strategy, concentrating its investments within a specific sector, which can lead to a higher exposure to sector-specific risks and opportunities. While focusing on the consumer non-cyclicals sector may reduce sensitivity to economic downturns, it also means the fund's performance is heavily influenced by factors affecting this sector, such as changes in consumer preferences and regulatory conditions. Investors should be aware that this sector-specific focus might result in higher volatility and sector concentration compared to more diversified bond funds.
By specializing in high-yield bonds from the consumer non-cyclicals sector, the BondBloxx US High Yield Consumer Non-Cyclicals Sector ETF aims to provide enhanced income potential for investors who are comfortable with the risks associated with below-investment grade securities. The fund’s focus on a stable, non-cyclical sector reflects its strategy to offer potentially attractive returns while managing exposure to economic cycles, making it a suitable choice for investors seeking higher yields from a more stable sector.
