The First Trust Tactical High Yield ETF (HYLS) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund focused on non-investment grade debt. Under normal market conditions, the fund allocates a minimum of 80% of its net assets to high-yield securities, commonly referred to as junk bonds, or unrated debt of equivalent credit quality.
The high-yield sector consists of corporate debt issued by companies with lower credit ratings, typically offering higher interest rates to compensate investors for increased default risk. Unlike passive index funds, this tactical business model allows the advisor to adjust the portfolios duration and credit exposure based on shifting macroeconomic conditions. Investors may find it useful to evaluate these credit metrics further on ValueRay.
