A Word of Caution
High-yield, or junk, bond ETFs are not for new investors. These ETFs are for traders who use advanced strategies. If this is your first look into high-yield bond funds, be sure to conduct thorough research. At that point, you will be better equipped to make the decision to invest. Each fund on this list should be individually scrutinized. Look what’s in the fund or note and watch how it reacts to different market conditions. Also, be sure to examine its historical performance. Contact a financial professional such as your broker or advisor if you have any questions or concerns. No fund—or any investment, for that matter—is without risk. The high-yield bond ETFs on this list are no exception. They are not for the faint of heart, so due diligence is a must.
