LQD Pros and Cons Explained Pros Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ET: The ETF tracks the Markit iBoxx USD Liquid Investment Grade Index, providing exposure to a diversified portfolio of liquid, investment-grade corporate bonds in the United States. Investors can benefit from the expertise of BlackRock Fund Advisors, the Fund's investment adviser, known for its experience in managing investment-grade corporate bond portfolios. Monthly distributions, such as the recent declaration of $0.3643, can provide a steady income stream for investors seeking regular returns. Investment-grade corporate bonds are generally considered less risky compared to lower-grade bonds, offering a balance of yield and safety for investors. The Fund invests at least 90% of its assets in securities of the Index, ensuring a high correlation with the performance of the underlying benchmark. Cons Investors should be bearish about investing in iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ET for these reasons: Interest rate risk: If interest rates rise, the value of existing bonds in the ETF may decrease, leading to potential capital losses for investors. Inflation risk: Inflation erodes the purchasing power of fixed income investments like bonds, impacting the real returns for investors. Limited potential for capital appreciation: Investment-grade corporate bonds are more focused on income generation rather than capital growth, which may not suit investors seeking high returns. Market risk: Fluctuations in the overall bond market can affect the ETF's performance, subjecting investors to market volatility. Credit risk: While investment-grade bonds are considered safer, there is still a risk of default by the issuing companies, which could impact the ETF's returns.
