Amundi Global High Yield Corporate Bond ESG UCITS ETF USD Acc (GHYU.L) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to replicate the performance of the Bloomberg MSCI Global Corporate High Yield SRI Sustainable Index, tracking a diversified portfolio of global high yield corporate bonds with maturities of at least one year that undergo rigorous ESG screening to exclude issuers deriving significant revenue from non-sustainable activities; the ETF employs a physical sampling replication method, accumulates interest income for reinvestment, and maintains a total expense ratio of 0.25% per annum. Issued by Amundi Asset Management, a subsidiary of the Amundi group headquartered in Paris, France and founded in 2010 through the merger of Crédit Agricole Asset Management and Société Générale Asset Management, the ETF is domiciled in Luxembourg with assets under management of approximately EUR 39 million as of late 2025 and trades on exchanges including the London Stock Exchange (USD ticker GHYU), Borsa Italiana (EUR ticker GHYE), gettex (EUR ticker B8TD), and SIX Swiss Exchange. The fund targets institutional and retail investors seeking exposure to sustainable high yield fixed income across global markets, primarily in developed and emerging economies through its 934 holdings concentrated in corporate bonds from various sectors.
In recent developments, Amundi, the ETF's provider, announced its 2025-2028 strategic plan in November 2025, which includes launching 100 new ETFs by 2028 and establishing a dedicated business line for active and white-label ETFs to enhance its passive product offerings; additionally, Amundi entered a long-term strategic and equity partnership with Intermediate Capital Group (ICG) in November 2025, acquiring a 9.9% economic stake to develop private markets products for wealth investors, complementing its ESG-focused fixed income strategies. Earlier in 2024, Amundi completed the acquisition of Alpha Associates to bolster private assets capabilities and signed a partnership with Victory Capital expected to close in early 2025, reflecting ongoing expansion in ETF and sustainable investment segments that support products like GHYU.L. The ETF itself, launched on 16 January 2020 (ISIN: LU2099295466), continues to operate without reported structural changes, maintaining its focus on ESG-screened global high yield bonds amid Amundi's broader growth initiatives in Europe, North America, Asia, and Latin America.
