- iShares US & Intl High Yield Corp Bond ETF (GHYG) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S. dollar, euro, British pound sterling, and Canadian dollar-denominated high yield corporate bonds issued by companies in developed markets. The fund provides exposure to a diversified portfolio of below-investment-grade fixed income securities across sectors including utilities, real estate, consumer cyclical, basic materials, consumer defensive, technology, communication services, and financial services; top holdings include CCO Holdings LLC, TransDigm Inc., Tenet Healthcare Corp., Venture Global LNG Inc., and Cloud Software Group Inc. It offers investors monthly income through distributions, with a recent dividend of $0.24298 declared ex December 1, 2025, and maintains an expense ratio of 0.40%.
Launched on April 3, 2012, and domiciled in the United States, GHYG is issued and managed by BlackRock, Inc., headquartered in New York. The fund's portfolio managers include James Mauro (since inception), with Jonathan Graves and Marcus Tom added effective August 1, 2025, reflecting recent portfolio management enhancements. Geographically, it allocates approximately 64.74% to U.S. bonds and 32.46% to non-U.S. bonds, targeting institutional and retail investors seeking high yield opportunities with limited interest-rate sensitivity.
In the last 1-2 years, GHYG has sustained steady asset growth to around $193 million in net assets amid market volatility, continuing regular monthly distributions such as $0.2430 in late 2025. As part of broader iShares ecosystem updates, BlackRock integrated new managerial oversight for enhanced risk management, aligning with the firm's strategic acquisitions including HPS Investment Partners in December 2024 and Global Infrastructure Partners earlier that year to bolster private markets capabilities. These parent-level developments support GHYG's focus on global high yield corporates without direct fund-level reorganizations or product launches reported.
