The PIMCO 0-5 Year High Yield Corporate Bond Index ETF gives investors exposure to short-duration high-yield bonds. While HYS may benefit initially from the Fed's rate cuts, historical trends show high-yield bonds underperform during recessions and economic slowdowns. Investors should high grade portfolios now, by considering investment-grade bonds and CLOs.
A reader asked for my thoughts on HYS, a short-term high-yield corporate bond index ETF. HYS provides investors with a good, growing 6.0% dividend yield. It is also quite expensive, with a 0.55% expense ratio. An overview of the fund, and its advantages and disadvantages relative to peers, follows.
PIMCO 0-5 Year High Yield Corporate Bond Index ETF offers exposure to short-term high-yield corporate bonds, with a 30-day SEC yield of about 7.7%. HYS is considered extremely risky due to its holdings in junk bonds and over 22% of not rated bonds. The ETF is not well-positioned to ride out a potential recession due to its high risk and short-term focus.
