The SPDR Portfolio High Yield Bond ETF (SPHY) seeks to track the performance of the U.S. dollar-denominated, below-investment-grade corporate debt market. The fund maintains a policy of investing at least 80% of its assets in securities that mirror the risk and return profile of its benchmark index.
High-yield bonds, often referred to as junk bonds, are issued by companies with credit ratings below BBB- from S&P or Baa3 from Moodys. This sector typically offers higher coupon payments to compensate investors for increased default risk compared to investment-grade government or corporate debt. The business model of a high-yield ETF relies on broad diversification across hundreds of issuers to mitigate the impact of individual credit events.
Investors can further evaluate these credit risks and yield spreads by exploring the tools available on ValueRay. This fund provides a low-cost vehicle for gaining exposure to the domestic sub-investment grade fixed-income market.
