iShares Total Return Active ETF (BRTR)
About this ETF
BRTR aims to outperform the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index by investing more than 90% of its assets in government and corporate fixed income securities of any duration or maturity. While it sets caps of 30% for non-US and 20% emerging market securities, the fund sets no limit to USD-denominated issuers from developed markets. The fund mainly invests in investment grade securities, but limits junk bonds to 20%. It may also invest up to 15% in CDOs, of which 10% may be CLOs. Additionally, the fund may invest in commodities indirectly through derivatives and other vehicles, such as ETFs. Up to 25% of assets may be invested in a wholly owned Cayman Islands subsidiary that primarily invests in commodity-related instruments.…
