About this ETF
The Nuveen High Yield Corporate Bond Fund (NHYB) utilizes a passive, indexing approach. Its primary goal is to replicate the investment performance, before accounting for fees and expenses, of the ICE BofA BB-B U.S. Cash Pay High Yield Constrained Index. To achieve this objective, the fund allocates its capital across a broad and varied selection of U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate corporate debt instruments that are classified as high yield.
