BTZ: Fed Cuts By 25 Basis Points, But Don't Blindly Jump In
2025-12-11 06:35:24 ET
The BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust ( BTZ ) is a closed-end bond fund that investors may opt to purchase in order to earn a very high level of income from the assets in their portfolios. The fund manages to do pretty well at the provision of income, as it boasts a 9.31% yield at the current share price. This is obviously higher than the yield of any of the major domestic or global bond indices, as seen in this chart:
Index/ETF | Current Yield |
Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index ( AGG ) | 3.56% |
Bloomberg High Yield Very Liquid Index ( JNK ) | 6.05% |
Vanguard Total World Bond ETF ( BNDW ) | 2.95% |
Vanguard Total International Bond Index Fund ETF Shares ( BNDX ) | 2.35% |
J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Core Index ( EMB ) | 4.60% |
