Nasdaq BulletShares USD High Yield Corporate Bond Indexes Nasdaq BulletShares USD High Yield Corporate Bond Indexes provide TICKER INDEX INDEX maturity targeted exposure to the U.S. dollar-denominated high yield corporate bond market. Each Index tracks a diversified basket of bonds with the same annual maturity and is designed to have a return profile similar to that of an individual held-to-maturity bond. The result is a series of fixed income indexes with successive annual maturities. Nasdaq BulletShares indexes are diversified bond portfolios designed to behave like bonds. Using a transparent, rules-based methodology, each index consists of U.S. dollardenominated bonds of globally domiciled 1 corporate issuers that pay fixed amounts of taxable interest. Bonds must meet the following criteria to be included: Maximum credit rating of BB+ by Standard and Poors, Ba1 by Moody s Investors Service, Inc. or BB+ by Fitch Inc and a minimum average rating of CCC- from Fitch, S&P and Moody s. BSJKI BSJKJ BSJKK BSJKL BSJKM BSJKN BSJKO BSJKP BSJKQ BSJKR Minimum outstanding par amount of $200 million. On a semi-annual basis, each bond in the universe of eligible securities is allocated to a specific Nasdaq BulletShares USD High Yield Corporate Bond Index based on its year of maturity, or in some cases effective maturity. Effective maturity is utilized for callable bonds that have been assessed as having a reasonable likelihood of being called by the issuer prior to maturity. The indexes are market value weighted and rebalanced on a monthly basis.
