IYLD is passively-managed offering a fixed-income-focused, multi-asset yield play. The fund, which is structured a fund-of-funds, follows an allocation mandate of 60% in fixed income, 20% in equities (with a focus on dividends) and 20% in REITs and preferred stock. IYLD places bounds on currency exposure too, aiming to keep non-USD exposure under roughly 25%. Roughly applies here because the rule is applied to ETFs with significant FX exposure rather than at the security level. Still, the allocation and currency boundaries combined with ETF-based exposure gives investors a clear picture of what they're buying. IYLD searches aggressively for yield within this asset class, with a hefty stake in junk bonds and emerging market debt. The index is rebalanced and reconstituted quarterly.
