- Invesco BulletShares 2030 Corporate Bond ETF (BSCU) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Invesco BulletShares USD Corporate Bond 2030 Index. The fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in a portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated, investment-grade corporate bonds with effective maturities in 2030, utilizing a sampling methodology rather than purchasing all securities in the index; the fund and index are rebalanced monthly, with a designated maturity and termination on or about December 15, 2030. Holdings, numbering approximately 357 as of mid-2025, are predominantly U.S. bonds (around 88%) with some non-U.S. exposure (12%), spanning sectors such as health care, financials, consumer discretionary, energy, and industrials; top holdings include bonds from The Boeing Company, PG&E Corp, Amgen Inc, Philip Morris International Inc, and Takeda Pharmaceutical Co Ltd.
Operated by Invesco Ltd, founded in 1935 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the ETF targets investors seeking defined-maturity, laddering strategies in the investment-grade corporate bond segment of the fixed-income market, with a net expense ratio of 0.10%, effective duration of about 4.34 years, and a 30-day SEC yield of approximately 4.66% as of June 2025. Geographically focused on developed markets, primarily the United States with allocations to issuers in Japan, the United Kingdom, Canada, and others, BSCU provides monthly income distributions and behaves like a held-to-maturity bond portfolio, enabling use as a building block for customized fixed-income ladders.
Launched on September 16, 2020, and listed on Nasdaq, the fund has grown to total net assets exceeding $1.9 billion, reflecting sustained investor interest amid elevated yields and demand for target-maturity strategies. Recent developments within Invesco's BulletShares suite, including BSCU, feature strong inflows—$88 million over a recent four-week period in 2024—driven by preferences for diversification, liquidity, and predictability versus individual bond laddering. Invesco expanded the broader BulletShares lineup in 2024 and 2025 with new defined-maturity ETFs such as the 2034 Corporate Bond ETF (BSCY) and others in high-yield and corporate segments, enhancing sector access and laddering tools while BSCU maintains its core 2030 focus. The ETF continues regular monthly distributions, with ex-dividend announcements through late 2025, underscoring operational stability amid market volatility.
