Description: FALN Fallen Angels USD Bond

FALN is an iShares-branded exchange-traded fund that passively tracks an index of U.S. dollar-denominated corporate bonds that were originally rated investment grade but have since been downgraded into high yield (junk) territory. Per its stated methodology, the fund allocates at least 80% of its assets to the underlying indexs component securities and at least 90% to the fixed income security types represented in that index. The ETF structure allows investors to gain basket exposure to these downgraded credits through a single listed vehicle traded on NASDAQ.

The fallen angels segment of the high yield market consists of issuers that typically have longer operating histories and larger balance sheets than issuers that originate in speculative grade, since they once met the bar for investment grade ratings. By tracking an index of these bonds, FALN offers investors a rules-based way to access this specific crossover segment of the U.S. credit market rather than the broader high yield universe.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Credit downgrades from investment grade increase fallen angel supply
  • Fed rate cuts compress yields on fallen angel bond ETF
  • Recession fears widen fallen angel credit spreads versus Treasuries
