Fund Commentary - 03/31/2024
| MARKET | |
| High yield posted a positive return during the first quarter as coupon income and lower spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between bonds and comparable maturity U.S. Treasuries) offset the impact of higher rates. | |
| The ICE BofA BB-B US Cash Pay High Yield Constrained Index returned +1.3% during the quarter. Double BB-rated bonds returned +1.2%, single B-rated bonds returned +1.5%, and triple CCC-rated bonds returned +3.1%. | |
| New issuance was $88 billion ($15 billion net of refinancing) in the first quarter, the largest one-quarter volume since the third quarter of 2021. | |
| High-yield mutual fund and exchange-traded funds (ETF) flows were $2.7 billion during the month. | |
| OUTLOOK | |
| The fundamental outlook for high yield continues to improve as growth remains robust and earnings remain resilient. | |
| Capital markets were active for high-yield companies as the first quarter saw the most new issue activity for any quarter since 2021, which enabled issuers to refinance and extend their maturity runways. | |
| While data in aggregate has been positive, quality dispersion is accelerating. Active management is crucial in the current environment. | |
