| MARKET | |
| High-yield bonds have returned +6.2% in the first quarter as measured by the ICE BOFA ML BB/B US Cash Pay High Yield Constrained Index, recovering all its 2018 losses and then some. Performance was driven by strong U.S. economic data, higher oil prices, and more dovish signaling from the Federal Reserve. | |
| According to the ICE BOFA ML US Cash Pay High Yield Constrained Indices, BB-rated, B-rated, and CCC-rated bonds returned +6.0%, +6.4%, and +7.5%, respectively. | |
| In the first quarter, $37 billion in high-yield bonds have been issued as markets have reopened to issuers. The majority of bonds issued have been to refinance debt. | |
| High-yield mutual funds and ETFs have experienced inflows of +$10.5 billion during the quarter, reversing 2018's trend of outflows. | |
| OUTLOOK | |
| We believe the technical backdrop of the high-yield bond market is strong. Net issuance has been declining for the last few years, making high-yield bonds increasingly scarce. We expect this trend to continue, and the limited supply of bonds should be supportive of secondary prices. | |
| The recent selloff in high-yield bonds means we entered 2019 at an attractive valuation. Strong performance has taken the edge off somewhat, but yields offered on high-yield bonds relative to comparable-maturity U.S. Treasuries remain attractive. | |
| Given solid credit fundamentals, we expect below-average default rates in 2019. | |
