Products and/or services of Victory Portfolios II - VictoryShares ESG Core Plus Bond ETF
- Interest income: UBND invests in bonds, which are essentially loans that pay interest to the holder. Owning UBND shares entitles you to a portion of the interest payments collected by the underlying bonds in the fund.
- Potential for capital appreciation: Bond prices can fluctuate based on market interest rates. If interest rates go down, bond prices typically go up. UBND shareholders could potentially benefit from this price increase.
- Portfolio diversification: UBND holds a variety of bonds, which can help to reduce overall portfolio risk.
- Exposure to investment-grade bonds: UBND primarily invests in investment-grade bonds, which are considered to be relatively safe but may offer lower yields compared to high-yield bonds.
- Exposure to some high-yield bonds: UBND may allocate up to 20% of its holdings to high-yield bonds (sometimes called "junk bonds") which can offer potentially higher returns but also carry greater risk of default.
- ESG considerations: UBND incorporates Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors into its investment selection process. This means the fund may prioritize bonds issued by companies with strong ESG practices.
