IGEB iShares Edge Investment Grade Enhanced Bond ETF

Seeks to track, before fees and expenses, BlackRock Investment Grade Enhanced Bond Index. The Index is composed of U.S. dollar-denominated, investment grade corporate bonds. The Index determines constituent weights based on a proprietary methodology which first aims to systematically screen out certain bonds with the highest probability of default (a measure of credit quality) and then optimizes to improve risk-adjusted returns by weighting more heavily to bonds with attractive default-adjusted spreads (a measure of value) while mitigating portfolio risks and limiting turnover. This methodology selects a portion of the component bonds from the broader universe of investment grade bonds based on application of analytics measuring the probability of default. The resulting grouping of bonds is referred to as “enhanced” because the Index seeks to provide superior risk-adjusted and total returns over longer periods of time than a comparable market-value-weighted index.
