HYT: Decreasing Exposure To Floating-Rate Securities Is The Correct Move Today
The BlackRock Corporate High Yield Fund offers a 9.48% yield, appealing to retirees seeking high income with reasonable capital preservation compared to peers. Despite recent bond market declines, the fund's total return since September 2024 is 0.84%, outperforming investment-grade bonds but lagging junk bonds. The fund has been decreasing its exposure to floating-rate assets, which is the best move in the current monetary environment.

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.

Love the SCHD ETF? SCHK, SCHB, SCHX, and HYT are good too
The Schwab US Dividend Equity (SCHD) ETF has had robust inflows this year as it moved to its all-time high. Its total returns this year stood at almost 10%, meaning that it has lagged the performance of the mainstream funds that track the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices.

HYT: Leveraged High-Yield Bond Fund Faces Trifecta Of Headwinds
The BlackRock Corporate High Yield Fund invests in non-investment grade bonds as an actively managed closed-end fund. Climbing interest rates at a time when credit spreads are at a historically low level highlight key risks to consider. We expect to see high-yield bonds and the HYT fund to face rising levels of volatility amid a more uncertain macro backdrop.
