The iShares US High Yield Bond Index ETF (XHY) is receiving attention from experts in the context of investing strategies amid changing economic conditions. Those anticipating rate cuts and a slowdown in growth may prefer funds like ZLC or XLB. However, investors seeking higher income and who are comfortable accepting some business cycle risk may find opportunities in high-yield bond ETFs, including XHY and ZHY. Therefore, this ETF is positioned as a viable option for those looking to capitalize on yield in a potentially shifting economic landscape. The discussion reflects a broader view on the importance of strategic asset allocation and risk assessment when considering investments in high-yield bonds.

US High Yield Bond Index Fund for 6 months to 1 year? Likes the product but this is a long-term product. Long-term, the return should be strong. A good risk/return trade-off.

US High Yield Bond market has actually had a massive rebound since their financial crisis. What worries him about the sector is that there are a lot of relatively weak quality issuers who have been raising money in a 6%-7% range. This is way too cheap a coupon for some of them to pay. If you own, consider scaling back.

US High Yield Bond Index Fund ETF. If you like high-yield bonds and/or corporate bonds, this is a good way to do it. Gives you a large diversified basket with a higher return.

High yield corporate bond US Hedge to Cdn$. (A Top Pick Apr 27/10. Up 12.75%) Liked high yield bonds for some time. Expects returns from high yield funds from this point on will not be as attractive. Probably won’t get double digit returns, but probably in the 7% area.

The problem is ‘high yield’ mean junk bond, which he has never been a fan of. They should be called ‘high risk’. If he wants yield, he wants investment grade bonds. One should go on the ETF company’s web site and look at the bonds and the duration.

(A Top Pick Feb 25/10. Up 13%.) US High Yield Bond Index Fund ETF. Mimicking the US high yield index. Average yield to maturity is about 6.83% right now. Will probably produce double-digit returns this year on the strength of falling default rates. As people continue to look for yields, it will drive the spreads narrower against government’s.

US High Yield Bond Index Fund ETF. As government interest rates go up, high yield bonds will be affected. You also have to consider actual spread of the bonds versus the treasury index. Doesn’t think this will continue to provide the performance we have had over the last 2 years. Would prefer being in equities.

Dec 29, 2010
US High Yield Bond Index Fund ETF. If you are sensitive to rate hikes, there will be more in Canada than the US so this is one solution. You could also consider Cdn corporate bond units such as Cdn Corp Bond ETF (XCB-T) or HYBrid Bond Index Fund (XHB-T).

US High Yield Bond Index Fund ETF. Hedged which takes out currency risk. High yield offers relative value over time. Yield over government currently is still above average and credit quality is doing very well.

Oct 28, 2010
US High Yield Bond Index Fund. (Same as Past Top Pick but hedged in Cdn$.) Thinks the recovery in the economy will lower default rates and the spread from high-yield bonds to US government bonds is going to narrow which will cause some relative capital gains so is looking for above average returns. Average yield is 7.33%.

Junk bonds. He is not a big fan of these. It’s not just interest rate risk but default risk. You have to assume a certain number of them will default. Currency hedged.

US High Yield Bond Index ETF. Really a copy of US version Hi Yield Corp Bond ETF (HYG-N). This one pays 7.25% while the US one pays 8.7%. If you think economy is going to be in rough shape, you don't want to own it but otherwise not a bad space to be in.
