HYG: iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF research
As of 09-25-2026
HYG stands out from the bond group with positive 6m (+1.67%), 12m (+1.79%) and YTD (+2.35%) returns, and a much shallower 1y drawdown of -2.3% than other bond funds, reflecting its equity-like risk profile that benefits from tight credit spreads (HY OAS supportive at +2.80). However it is still below its 200-day average and 3m relative strength versus the S&P 500 is -6.67%, so the trend has not yet confirmed a breakout.
