- VictoryShares ESG Corporate Bond ETF (UCRD) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks maximum current income without undue risk to principal by investing primarily in investment-grade corporate bonds selected through proprietary credit and ESG methodologies; up to 10% of net assets may be allocated to below-investment-grade corporate credit securities, with additional exposure to U.S. government securities, up to 30% in U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of foreign or emerging market issuers, and limited cash or other holdings. The fund employs a bottom-up, bond-by-bond approach focusing on issuers demonstrating strong or improving environmental, social, and governance characteristics across 16 categories including greenhouse gas emissions, management diversity, labor practices, supply chain management, climate change, energy efficiency, corporate ethics, and safety records; it avoids the lowest ESG-ranked issuers unless improving or engaged by the advisor, with sector allocations emphasizing industrials (50.6%), finance (34.2%), utilities (9.2%), Treasury (4.7%), and others as of September 30, 2025. UCRD trades on NASDAQ, maintains approximately 426 holdings with an effective duration of 6.73 years, weighted average life of 9.96 years, net expense ratio of 0.40%, and net assets of $144.4 million, delivering a 30-day SEC yield of 4.48% (subsidized) and monthly dividend payouts targeting yield-focused investors in the corporate bond segment. Launched on October 4, 2021, by Victory Capital Management Inc., headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, UCRD forms part of the VictoryShares ETF lineup managed by the USAA Investments franchise with a team including Senior Portfolio Managers Kurt Daum, JD, Neal Graves, CFA, CPA, Chief Investment Officer James Jackson, CFA, and others bringing decades of fixed income expertise. In June 2023, Victory Capital launched UCRD alongside two sibling ESG-focused active ETFs—the VictoryShares ESG Core Plus Bond ETF (UBND) and VictoryShares THB Mid Cap ESG ETF (MDCP)—expanding its transparent active ETF offerings with integrated ESG screening to meet rising investor demand; the fund has since grown assets under management to over $144 million, sustained competitive performance with 1-year NAV returns of 3.86% through September 2025 outperforming the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Bond Index, and maintained portfolio credit quality dominated by BBB (52.9%), A (32.0%), and AA (12.6%) ratings.
