- Invesco BulletShares 2025 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (BSJP) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Nasdaq BulletShares USD High Yield Corporate Bond 2025 Index. The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in high yield corporate bonds, commonly known as junk bonds, that comprise the Index; these are U.S. dollar-denominated securities with effective maturities in 2025, utilizing a sampling methodology rather than holding all Index constituents. Launched on September 27, 2017, and managed by Invesco, BSJP provides targeted exposure to approximately 146 holdings, including top positions such as Spirit AeroSystems Inc. 9.375%, United Wholesale Mortgage LLC 5.5%, Raising Canes Restaurants LLC 9.375%, and Welltec International ApS 8.25%; it features a total expense ratio of 0.42%, an effective duration of 1.74 years, and a 30-day SEC yield around 8.32%.
The ETF's portfolio emphasizes bonds maturing primarily in 2025 (98.93% allocation), with geographic exposure concentrated in the United States (93.44%), followed by smaller positions in the United Kingdom (2.71%), Canada (2.62%), Austria (0.44%), France (0.43%), and Sweden (0.36%). Credit quality tilts toward CCC-rated bonds (10.71%), reflecting its high yield focus within the target maturity bond segment. BSJP trades on the Nasdaq exchange and caters to investors seeking monthly income, bond laddering strategies, and defined maturity profiles, with assets under management exceeding $650 million and a dividend yield of approximately 5.24%.
Invesco, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, with key operations including its Downers Grove, Illinois office, issues BSJP as part of the broader BulletShares suite, which spans investment grade corporate, high yield corporate, and municipal bonds across multiple maturity years. Recent developments include sustained inflows into the BulletShares high yield series amid interest in fixed income laddering, with related funds like BSCQ, BSCR, BSCS, and BSCU attracting over $377 million in four-week flows as of mid-2024, underscoring growing adoption for customizable portfolios in rising rate environments. As of late 2025, BSJP maintains stable institutional ownership from 188 holders managing over 26 million shares, with no major acquisitions, funding rounds, or structural changes reported; the Fund approaches its 2025 maturity, positioning it for potential liquidation and final distributions similar to prior BulletShares cohorts.
