In plain English
iShares Euro High Yield Corp Bond UCITS ETF Hedged USD Accumulating is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from iShares, launched in 2017.
It tracks the Markit iBoxx Euro Liquid High Yield Index.
You buy and sell it through a share-dealing account or platform during stock-market hours, like a share.
Its ongoing charge is 0.55% a year — about £55 a year on every £10,000 invested, taken from the fund's value rather than billed to you.
Income from its investments is reinvested inside the fund, so it shows up as a rising price rather than cash paid to you.
It is currency-hedged to US dollars, not to the pound: it aims to remove most of the effect of exchange-rate moves against US dollars, so a holder who counts in pounds still has currency risk.
Corporate & other bonds: Loans to companies and other borrowers, which usually pay more interest than government bonds in exchange for more risk.
