The iShares Broad USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (USHY) manages $26.7 billion with headline yields above 7%, but a detailed look reveals a median yield to maturity of 6.54%, mostly from BB and B-rated bonds. Over 63% of the portfolio yields less than 7%, while only a small portion of distressed bonds with yields above 15% skew the headline yield. This suggests that the effective income from the fund is lower than the headline figure might imply, important for investors seeking realistic yield expectations.
