- iShares Global High Yield Corp Bond CHF Hedged UCITS ETF (Dist) (GHYC.SW) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of the Markit iBoxx Global Developed Markets Liquid High Yield Capped (CHF Hedged) Index, providing investors with exposure to a diversified portfolio of sub-investment grade high yield corporate bonds issued by companies in developed markets. The fund primarily invests in fixed-rate high yield bonds across sectors including industrials, utilities, and financials, denominated mainly in USD, EUR, GBP, and CAD, while employing monthly currency forward contracts to hedge non-CHF exposure back to Swiss francs; it features a sampled replication methodology, a total expense ratio of 0.55%, semi-annual distributions, and holds approximately 1,634 securities with an average weighted maturity of 3.31 years and effective duration of 2.85 years. Listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange since April 2014 with ISIN IE00B988C465, the ETF is domiciled in Ireland under iShares VI plc, a BlackRock-managed vehicle, and targets institutional and retail investors seeking income and total return from global high yield debt with CHF currency protection. The fund operates geographically through its underlying index, which captures liquid high yield corporate bonds from issuers across developed markets in Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific regions. Net assets stand at approximately CHF 152-169 million, with a 12-month trailing yield of around 5.47% and yield to maturity of 5.49%. Launched on April 11, 2014, the ETF is issued by BlackRock's iShares platform, headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, with no reported subsidiaries or parent entities beyond the iShares VI plc umbrella. In recent developments, the fund continues to align with its benchmark without major structural alterations, though a shareholder letter indicates prospective changes to the prospectus effective on or around August 1, 2025, potentially updating operational or disclosure terms. No significant acquisitions, funding rounds, new product launches, partnerships, or strategic shifts specific to this ETF have been announced in the last 1-2 years, maintaining its focus on the established Markit iBoxx index amid stable performance metrics through 2025. Top holdings as of late 2025 include issuers such as Celanese US Holdings LLC (1.76%), Tenet Healthcare Corp (1.66%), OneMain Finance Corp (1.46%), Vodafone Group PLC (1.12%), and Teva Pharmaceutical Finance Netherlands II BV (1.12%), reflecting diversified credit risk across global corporates.
