What does the IHCB ASX ETF invest in?

IHCB aims to provide investors with the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Corporate Bond Index (AUD Hedged), before fees and expenses. This index is designed to capture the performance of the global investment-grade corporate bond market by holding corporate bonds from a number of different countries (particularly the US) and sectors (such as banking and communications). Most of the bonds within this ETF are assigned a credit quality rating of A or BBB. The issuers of these corporate bonds include well-known names such as JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and AT&T.

What do investors use the IHCB ETF for?

Investors could use the IHCB ETF to diversify an existing portfolio and gain exposure to global corporate bonds while potentially minimising the impact of Australian dollar volatility on investment returns. Additionally, IHCB could be used to create a regular income stream from the tri-annual distributions offered by this ETF. Bonds can be used in a portfolio to seek stability and generate income.
