HYT: This Is A Decent Junk Bond Fund, But It Does Not Deserve Its Current Premium

BlackRock Corporate High Yield Fund offers a 9.44% yield, making it attractive for income-seeking investors, especially retirees needing regular monthly payments. Despite recent strong performance, HYT's future gains are limited due to already priced-in interest rate cuts. The fund's leverage is lower than peers, reducing risk, but its reliance on a revolving credit line for cash needs could be concerning.
