Now that the Fed's interest rate cutting cycle has finally begun, investors should take a moment to reassess their fixed income portfolios.  Given that bond yields still remain highly competitive, investors have a good opportunity to take advantage of stronger bond exposure before yields drop.

In the corporate bond market, there are two categories: investment-grade and non-investment-grade, also known as junk bonds. Companies with junk bonds often have high levels of debt and other financial difficulties that contribute to their low credit rating.

The latest remarks from the Federal Reserve are reinforcing the case for high yield bonds. On Wednesday, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicated that the Fed is sticking to the current plan and keeping rates steady for now.
