Why invest in HYZD from India
What HYZD holds
This index provides exposure to a curated selection of U.S. high-yield corporate debt, commonly known as 'junk bonds,' focusing on issuers with strong underlying financials and promising income generation. A key aspect of its design is the proactive management of interest rate sensitivity, accomplished by holding short positions in U.S. Treasury securities.
Hold a dollar asset
HYZD is priced in US dollars, so a weaker rupee adds to what it's worth in rupees. The rupee depreciated over 85% against the dollar between 2010 and 2025.
Buy a fraction of a unit
Buy by amount, not by unit, and get the matching fraction of one HYZD unit. There is no minimum trade size.
