The SPDR Bloomberg High Yield Bond ETF (JNK) seeks to track the performance of the U.S. dollar-denominated high yield corporate bond market. The fund allocates at least 80% of its assets to securities within its benchmark index, focusing specifically on issues that demonstrate above-average liquidity. High yield bonds, often referred to as junk bonds, are issued by companies with credit ratings below investment grade, typically resulting in higher coupon rates to compensate investors for increased default risk.
The business model of a high yield bond ETF relies on diversified exposure to sub-investment grade debt, which often exhibits a higher correlation with equity markets than sovereign debt. Investors utilize these instruments to capture income and manage duration within a fixed-income portfolio.
