Investment-grade corporate bond ETFs provide exposure to debt issued by companies considered to have investment-grade credit quality. They may offer a source of income, but carry both interest-rate risk and the risk that an issuer’s credit quality changes.
Corporate bonds sit between government bonds and shares in the risk-return landscape: investors take on exposure to company credit as well as interest-rate movements. This means bond prices may respond to both changes in market rates and shifts in perceptions of issuer strength.
