The estimated transaction value was $9.04 million based on the mean unadjusted close for the period. As a result, the fund’s net position value in BSCQ decreased by $9.04 million to zero at quarter’s end.What else to knowThe fund fully exited its BSCQ position, which previously accounted for 1.6% of AUM in the prior quarter.Top holdings after the filing:NYSE: BRK-B: $42.76 million (7.2% of AUM)NASDAQ: MSFT: $41.55 million (7.0% of AUM)NASDAQ: GOOGL: $35.26 million (5.9% of AUM)NYSE: BK: $30.33 million (5.1% of AUM)NYSE: BAC: $22.94 million (3.9% of AUM)As of April 16, 2026, shares of BSCQ were priced at $19.56, up 0.3% over the past year.BSCQ carried a 4.1% annualized dividend yield as of April 17, 2026.ETF overviewMetricValueNet assets$4 billionDividend yield4%Price (as of market close April 16, 2026)$19.56ETF snapshotBSCQ’s investment strategy targets U.S. dollar-denominated investment grade corporate bonds maturing in 2026, tracking the Invesco BulletShares Corporate Bond 2026 Index.Its portfolio comprises a diversified sample of investment grade corporate bonds, rebalanced monthly to maintain index alignment and maturity profile.It is structured as a target maturity ETF with a defined termination date in December 2026.The Invesco BulletShares 2026 Corporate Bond ETF provides investors with a transparent, cost-effective vehicle for targeted exposure to investment grade U.S. corporate bonds maturing in 2026. The fund's defined maturity structure allows investors to plan for specific cash flow needs, while monthly rebalancing ensures the portfolio remains aligned with its index mandate. With a competitive yield and a disciplined investment approach, the ETF appeals to institutional and individual investors seeking predictable income and principal return at maturity.What this transaction means for investorsThis recent sale is interesting given another move the fund also made last quarter, when it simultaneously increased its stake in a 2026 high-yield version of the same ETF, pointing to a strategic repositioning rather than a withdrawal.The characteristics of BSCQ provide some context for this move. With a defined maturity set for late 2026 and an effective duration of around 0.3 years, the fund is essentially rolling down to cash right now. Yields are hovering around 4.1%, but the potential for growth is limited as bonds reach maturity and cash is returned. Essentially, the focus shifts more toward preserving capital than generating income.In the context of the broader portfolio, this position was relatively minor. It accounted for just 1.6% of assets under management before the sale, significantly lower than major equity holdings like Berkshire Hathaway at 7.2% and Microsoft at 7.0%. This makes the complete exit easier to understand as part of normal portfolio management.Read NextApr 16, 2026 •By Sara AppinoSNS Financial Sells $5.88 Million of BulletShares 2026 Ahead of December ClosureApr 17, 2026 •By Jonathan PoncianoWhat to Know About This $11 Million High Yield ETF Buy After a Full ExitApr 17, 2026 •By Jonathan PoncianoThis $5 Billion Large-Cap Active ETF Beat Its Benchmark by 17 Points.
