The First Trust Tactical High Yield ETF (HYLS) is a fixed-income exchange-traded fund that primarily invests in below investment grade (junk) corporate debt. Under normal market conditions, the fund allocates at least 80% of its net assets, including investment borrowings, to high yield debt securities rated below investment grade at the time of purchase, as well as unrated securities that the funds advisor considers to be of comparable quality.
The high yield bond sector comprises corporate debt issued by companies with weaker credit profiles, typically offering higher yields than investment grade bonds to compensate investors for the increased default risk. ETFs in this category provide investors with diversified, liquid access to these higher-yielding fixed-income instruments, which are commonly used for income generation and portfolio diversification away from equities.
