Best High Yield Bond Funds
High-yield bond funds and ETFs concentrate on lower-quality bonds, which are riskier than those of higher-quality companies. These portfolios generally offer higher yields than other types of portfolios, but they are also more vulnerable to economic and credit risk. Here we narrowed the list to those that also received a Gold Morningstar Medalist Rating by our analysts. The Medalist Rating is a forward-looking assessment of an investment strategy. The rating is on a five-tier scale running from Gold to Negative. Gold is Morningstar’s top recommendation, reserved for investments that are expected to add the most value within their category.
