iShares $ High Yield Corporate Bond UCITS ETF
Universal identifier to search at European brokers.
IHYG gives similar asset-class exposure, but it is not a like-for-like index match.
What is IHYG?
IHYG is iShares $ High Yield Corporate Bond UCITS ETF, a UCITS-compliant ETF that BestFolio uses when translating UJB into a European-broker-friendly allocation. UCITS funds are designed for EU and UK retail access and carry the required investor documents that US-listed ETFs usually lack.
No 2x HY bond UCITS. Use 1x high yield. The source ticker has 2x exposure and the UCITS substitute has 1x exposure, so BestFolio can flag leverage differences during allocation translation.
