BHK: Improved Valuation, Distribution Sustainability Still Questionable
2025-11-05 17:54:02 ET
The BlackRock Core Bond Trust ( BHK ) is a closed-end fund, or CEF, that investors who are seeking to generate income from their portfolios could consider as a means of achieving that goal. The fund does manage to do surprisingly well in this respect, as it boasts an impressive 9.16% yield at the current share price. This yield is substantially higher than the yields of any of the major domestic or global fixed-income indices. We can see this quite clearly in this comparison chart that shows the yields of the various global bond indices:
Index/ETF | Current Yield |
Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index ( AGG ) | 3.85% |
Bloomberg High Yield Very Liquid Index ( JNK ) | 6.61% |
Vanguard Total World Bond ETF ( BNDW ) | 4.05% |
Vanguard Total International Bond Index Fund ETF Shares ( BNDX ) | 4.36% |
J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Core Index ( EMB ) | 5.06% |
