Behaviour On Record
iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF is currently running 7.3% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against LQD's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 68th percentile — a little above its own norm, against a typical reading of 5.7%.
LQD is trading -24.5% below its running peak. Across 13 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -7.1%, and the deepest was -24.6% in 2022. The current drawdown is already deeper than this fund's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began, and where past declines also continued.
Price sits -2.6% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 22nd percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year LQD closed higher on 49% of sessions, and it is currently 3 sessions into a rising streak.
On November specifically: over 13 years of records, LQD finished the month higher 10 of 13 times, with a median return of +0.4% and an average of +1.3%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +1.3% on average, its weakest September at -0.7%.
Overnight risk is measurable too: LQD has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 9 of 3,268 sessions (0.3% of the time), with the largest gaps running +2.7% and -3.5%.
All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-11-06 and 2026-11-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against LQD's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
