The iShares Broad USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (USHY) provides a nearly 6.9% trailing yield by investing in a diversified portfolio of below-investment-grade corporate bonds, mainly rated BB and B. It pays monthly distributions with a very low expense ratio of 0.08%, making it an efficient income vehicle. While the credit quality leans toward safer junk bonds, risks remain from the riskiest CCC-rated bonds and potential credit spread widening if a recession hits. However, the Federal Reserve's recent rate cuts and stable corporate fundamentals support the durability of USHY's income stream for the next year, with total returns remaining positive over recent years.
