HYG is a well-diversified ETF with $15.7 billion in net assets, 1,274 holdings, and an average yield to maturity of 7.17%.

Default risk is rising, and high-yield credit is underpriced; I recommend caution until after a credit event for better opportunities. The iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF offers access to high-yield bonds but is sensitive to economic cycles. HYG's broad indexing and low fees are attractive, but its market-value weighting leans towards highly indebted companies, increasing risk.

Evaluating iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF as an investment option at its current market price. I was previously bullish on HYG, which has shown solid gains, but now I have a more moderate stance. Coverage ratios and spreads across the high yield sector are on the decline, suggesting patience is probably the best outlook going forward.
