iShares SHYG ETF's true yield is about 6.4%, not 7.34%, due to distressed bonds skewing the average.

The iShares 0-5 Year High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (SHYG) offers exposure to short-term USD high-yield bonds with a 2.12-year duration. While its headline yield-to-maturity (YTM) is 7.34%, this figure is misleading because it is inflated by a small portion of distressed bonds. The normalized average YTM for 91% of the fund's assets is closer to 6.40%, with a median of 6.27%, which better reflects the core portfolio's expected returns. Investors should anticipate returns near 6.4%, as the higher yield is concentrated in high-risk, deeply distressed holdings.
