Five Strong High-Yield Corporate Bond ETFs

High-yield corporate bond ETFs provide investors with strong yields, albeit somewhat elevated credit risk. There are lots of high-yield bond ETFs available to investors. Some with higher yields, some with better performance track-records, some focusing on more niche areas of the market. A quick overview of five of these follows. ETFs include simple, cheap vanilla ETFs, smart beta ETFs, and those targeting niche, best-performing bonds.

ANGL May Be A Riskier Investment Than One Might Expect

ANGL invests in high-yield bonds that were formerly investment-grade, offering attractive yields but with elevated risk from recent downgrades. Large portfolio concentrations in Celanese and Nissan heighten risk, as further credit deterioration in these firms could significantly impact ANGL's performance. While ANGL offers a competitive 6.28% yield and low fees, alternative ETFs like FALN have outperformed with similar cost structures.

ANGL: A Good Product, But Not The Right Time To Buy It

Fallen Angel Investing involves buying recently downgraded bonds for higher returns, but current market conditions make VanEck Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF less attractive. ANGL offers a 6.27% yield with a low expense ratio and high liquidity, but its risk profile includes a high standard deviation and max drawdown. Rising interest rates and a low yield spread between corporate and treasury bonds reduce the attractiveness of ANGL compared to safer treasury bonds.

The Largest Bond ETFs Are Good, But These ETFs Are Better

The largest bond ETFs are almost exclusively index funds focusing on the broader bond market, or on specific bond sub-asset classes. These ETFs are reasonable investments, but investors can do much better than reasonable. Lots of ETFs offer higher yields, returns, and risk-adjusted returns than these larger ETFs, with extra advantages to boot.
