IBHF: A Fixed-Maturity ETF I Love
Buying bonds directly is the simplest way to schedule a fixed amount of dollars to be paid to you on a fixed future date. While most bond ETFs have no specific maturity date, there are three suites of fixed maturity ETFs from Invesco, iShares, and State Street. Here I chart the past performance of two 2024 Invesco BulletShares ETFs, showing how closely their total returns could have been expected in advance.

IBHF: Fight The Fed With This Term Fund, 6.7% Yield
The iShares i-Bonds 2026 Term High Yield and Income ETF offers a 6.7% yield with decreasing risk as it approaches its December 2026 termination date. IBHF's diversified portfolio of U.S. high-yield bonds, predominantly BB-rated, ensures principal return and yield stability despite potential defaults. Term funds like IBHF are advantageous in a soft landing scenario, providing higher yields as Fed rate cuts diminish returns on short-term instruments.

Finding The Sweetspot Across The Yield Curve At 7-9% Yields
Many investors oversimplify the investment process with respect to duration by thinking about the concept on a single spectrum. They also focus overly on today's yield rather than considering reinvestment risk as well as capital gains consequences.

IBHF: A Different Spin On High Yield Investing
iShares iBonds 2026 Term High Yield and Income ETF is a set-term ETF that tracks a US dollar-denominated, high-yield and income-paying corporate bond index. The fund is well-diversified and has a maturity breakdown focused on the 1 to 2 year range, reducing interest rate risk. The sector breakdown of the fund is heavily weighted towards consumer cyclicals, which may be a concern if a recession occurs. However, the set maturity structure of the fund may help mitigate this risk.

IBHF: 7.7% Yield To Be Part Of A Bond Ladder
iShares iBonds 2026 Term High Yield and Income ETF has an attractive 7.7% yield, but it is not a long-term investment. The IBHF ETF is an element of a bond ladder ETF series and will be converted to cash in December 2026. Bond ladders in high-yield bonds are for investors who have enough capital to build ladders in safer bonds first.
