Fund Commentary
| MARKET | |
| The ICE BofAML BB-B US Cash Pay High Yield Constrained Index returned +1.7% during the quarter, with outperformance by financial sectors that benefitted from a healthy U.S. consumer. | |
| According to the ICE BOFA ML US Cash Pay High Yield Constrained Indices, BB-rated, B-rated, and CCC-rated bonds returned +2.0%, +1.1%, and -2.5%, respectively. | |
| Gross new issuance was $68 billion during the third quarter and $208 billion year-to-date vs. $168 billion over the same period last year. | |
| Inflows of $2.8 billion during the third quarter have generated a total inflow of +$15.3 billion for the year. This is the largest inflow since 2012. | |
| OUTLOOK | |
| During a quarter that saw a raft of geopolitical headlines, a flood of new issuance, and a wave of cash generated by calls, tenders, and maturities, investors remained disciplined. | |
| High-yield investors have been reluctant to finance more speculative, lower quality enterprises, so the risk of contagion from any given sector should remain muted. Contrast the present dynamic to the telecom bubble in 2002 or the commodity price crisis in 2015-2016. | |
| Positive fundamentals and reasonable valuations leave us constructive on high yield. With low default expectations and yields falling around the globe, high yield remains an attractive source of carry for yield-oriented investors. | |
