HYZD Profile
The WisdomTree Interest Rate Hedged High Yield Bond Fund (HYZD) is an exchange-traded fund focusing primarily on high yield fixed income investments. Launched on December 18, 2013, HYZD tracks a unique long/short net-zero duration bond index strategy, maintaining long positions in US non-investment-grade corporate bonds while simultaneously shorting Treasury futures contracts. This innovative approach aims to hedge against interest rate fluctuations, potentially enhancing yield opportunities while managing duration risk.
HYZD's investment objective is to provide investors with exposure to the performance of selected issuers within the US high yield corporate bond market. The fund's index methodology combines a strategic allocation to high yield bonds with a hedging mechanism designed to mitigate the impact of rising interest rates on bond prices, thereby seeking to deliver consistent income and total return.
WisdomTree, the issuer of HYZD, specializes in developing ETFs that address specific investment strategies and market conditions. HYZD reflects WisdomTree's commitment to innovation in fixed income solutions, offering investors access to a diversified portfolio of high yield bonds structured to potentially enhance risk-adjusted returns in varying interest rate environments.
Investing in HYZD allows market participants to benefit from WisdomTree's expertise in managing fixed income strategies that incorporate both yield generation and risk management. The fund's dual strategy of long high yield bonds and short Treasury futures positions it uniquely in the ETF landscape, providing a tailored solution for investors seeking income with reduced exposure to interest rate volatility.
