iShares closes a lot of funds if they don't have enough buyers.

I'd put the odds at somewhere between 0% and 100%.

According to https://www.etf.com/HYBB, which relies on data from FactSet, HYBB's "Fund Closure Risk" is Low.

It's been around 3 years and has 250M in assets. With a .25 exp ratio that means it is
"earning" about 600k per year. Add to this daily volume of 5k shares. I would guess
(and it's just a guess) if numbers don't increase, they might fold this into another
Ishares ETF. These assets levels are just to small.
