Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1

The investment objective of iShares High Yield Muni Active ETF (the Fund) is to provide shareholders with as high a level of income exempt from Federal income taxes as is consistent with the investment policies of the Fund.

Strategy · summarised

The fund invests at least 80% of assets in municipal bonds, with at least 65% in medium- to low-quality bonds rated BBB/Baa or lower, and may hold up to 10% in distressed securities in default or rated in the lowest categories. The fund's focus on lower-rated and distressed municipal debt creates concentration risk, as returns depend on the credit performance of the specific issuers selected by management.

Risk profile

Interest-rate and credit-spread sensitivity, both in years · as of 2026Q2

More of this fund’s sensitivity sits in credit spreads than in interest rates — a rate rally that comes with a credit selloff works against it.

Interest-rate duration
9.29 yr
approx. move per 100bp
Credit-spread duration
9.43 yr
approx. move per 100bp
If rates and spreads both rise 100bp

Where the loss would come from. The two shocks are the same size, so this is the balance of the fund's two sensitivities rather than a bet on one moving more.

of value
Credit spreads50%
Interest rates50%

Filers report the impact of a 0.01% move only, so the total is our own scaling of that one number and overstates the loss on most bonds — read it as approximate, never as precise. The two sensitivities overlap rather than add up: they measure the same positions against different shocks, which is why the durations above are shown side by side and never summed.

Share of duration at each point, shortest first. A positive figure loses value when spreads widen; a negative one offsets — a credit hedge.

The two bands measure the same positions against different shocks and do not add — a Treasury carries rate duration and no spread duration, a floating-rate credit the reverse. Rate tenors are also summed across every currency the fund discloses.
