CDX: High-Yield Bond ETF, Credit Hedged, Ineffective Strategy
A reader asked for my thoughts on CDX. CDX focuses on high-yield corporate bonds with a credit hedge meant to protect investor capital when credit spreads widen. CDX's credit hedges, including S&P 500 puts and credit default options, have been ineffective during past downturns and credit events.

CDX: High Yield Fund With A Wide Mandate (Rating Downgrade)
CDX has shifted from a high yield ETF with an embedded hedge to a multi-asset fund. The fund's new structure introduces higher risk, making it unsuitable as a building block for high yield portfolios. Current high yield credit spreads are at decade lows, making the macro environment unfavorable for high yield investments.

CDX: Good Way To Own High Yield Bonds
Simplify High Yield PLUS Credit Hedge ETF uses a long-short portfolio of high-quality vs. low-quality stocks to hedge credit risk, offering a positive carry credit hedge. While CDX offers protection against credit risk, it does not hedge against rising interest rates, posing a risk during periods of increasing rates. I rate CDX a buy for its potential to make high-yield bonds more palatable by mitigating downside risks from a negative credit cycle.

Credit Hedging Done Right: CDX Outperforms With Defense
The credit risk in high yield bonds tends to have more volatility and credit spreads can widen swiftly during periods of market stress, wiping out income quickly. CDX deploys credit hedging techniques to mitigate credit risk. CDX has the ability to deploy credit hedges with a direct tie to credit markets, like CDS, CDX and CDX options.

CDX: If You Want To Buy High Yield Here, Buy It Hedged
CDX outperformed competitors HYG and JNK in the past year from a total return perspective, and with a better drawdown profile. CDX utilizes put spreads on the S&P 500 to hedge downside moves, providing insurance against market losses. The fund offers a lower drawdown in a market sell-off due to its embedded hedge profile and put spreads, making it a smart choice for investors.
