Description: HYI Western Asset High Yield October 27, 2025
Western Asset High Yield Defined Opportunity Fund (NYSE: HYI) is a U.S.-based high-yield bond fund that seeks to generate income by investing in a diversified portfolio of below-investment-grade corporate debt, leveraging Western Asset’s credit-research expertise.
Key metrics as of the latest filing show a weighted-average coupon of roughly 7.5% and a portfolio duration of about 4.5 years, indicating moderate interest-rate sensitivity. The fund’s top sector allocations are typically energy, consumer discretionary, and industrials, making its performance closely tied to U.S. economic growth and the health of the credit spread curve. Recent macro trends-such as the Federal Reserve’s stance on interest rates and the trajectory of the U.S. unemployment rate-are primary drivers of default risk and spread widening in the high-yield market.
