Invesco BulletShares 2027 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (BSJR) is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the Invesco BulletShares High Yield Corporate Bond 2027 Index, providing targeted exposure to a portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated high yield corporate bonds with effective maturities in 2027. The fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in such bonds, which are rated between BB+/Ba1 and CCC-/Caa3 by major credit rating agencies including S&P, Fitch, and Moody's; this includes junk bonds issued by various corporate issuers across sectors, with top holdings such as Carnival Corporation 5.75% and Mauser Packaging Solutions Holding Co. 7.875%. BSJR offers investors a defined-maturity structure akin to individual bonds, enabling use in bond ladders for income planning and risk management, with a trailing 12-month yield of approximately 6.40% and assets under management exceeding $580 million as of mid-2025.
Launched on September 12, 2019, by Invesco Ltd., a global investment management firm headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, BSJR operates primarily in the U.S. fixed income market, targeting institutional and retail investors seeking high yield strategies with maturity-specific exposure. The ETF is part of Invesco's broader BulletShares suite, which includes similar defined-maturity products across corporate, high yield, and municipal bond segments, domiciled in the United States under Invesco Exchange-Traded Self-Indexed Fund Trust.
In recent developments, BSJR has experienced steady fund inflows totaling $315.71 million over the past year through 2025, reflecting robust investor demand amid favorable high-yield market conditions and a 8.43% NAV return over the same period. Invesco continued expanding its BulletShares fixed income offerings with new defined-maturity bond ETFs announced in 2024, complementing BSJR's strategy without direct acquisitions or partnerships specific to the fund. As the fund approaches its December 31, 2027 target maturity date, it will unwind positions and return capital to shareholders, with duration and yield-to-maturity declining predictably.
