The U.S. Federal Reserve added $1.33 billion in bonds of individual companies from June 22 to June 30, including iPhone maker Apple Inc, beer-producer Anheuser-Busch and travel booker Expedia Group.
Holdings also included $3.2 million of Expedia and $10.1 million of Ford Motor Co, whose debt rating was downgraded to junk after the coronavirus crisis hit.
The Fed also held $7.97 billion in 16 corporate bond exchange traded funds , the data showed. Roughly half of the corporate bond ETF shares purchased went to funds owned by BlackRock, which is managing the Fed’s corporate credit facilities. BlackRock waived asset management fees on ETFs purchased on behalf of the Fed.
Other global central banks have bought individual corporate bonds for years, but the program is new for the Fed during this pandemic. The aim is to ensure companies can continue to finance themselves, and not be forced into bankruptcy because they are unable to raise needed cash. The program is backed by investment capital from the U.S. Treasury to absorb any losses from defaults.
The Fed has reduced the pace of corporate bond purchases made in the secondary market from about $300 million daily to slightly less than $200 million a day, and it could stop the purchases entirely if market conditions keep improving, Daleep Singh, executive vice president of the New York Federal Reserve said this week.Our Standards:
