The PGIM Active High Yield Bond ETF (PHYL) is an actively managed fund targeting income and capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its assets in below-investment-grade debt. The portfolio includes high-yield corporate bonds, derivatives with similar risk profiles, and distressed securities, including those currently in default or bankruptcy proceedings.
High-yield bonds, often referred to as junk bonds, carry higher default risk than investment-grade debt, requiring fund managers to perform intensive credit analysis to offset potential losses. This sector typically offers higher coupons to compensate investors for the increased credit risk and sensitivity to the issuing companys cash flow stability.
