FALN offers the strongest upside among fallen angel ETFs, earning a strong buy rating versus a simple buy for ANGL. FALN's pure US focus, higher yield sustainability, and greater sensitivity to imminent Fed rate cuts position it for superior short-term returns. Both FALN and ANGL provide high yields and low volatility, but FALN's sectoral exposure and higher duration make it more attractive in the current environment.
High-yield corporate bond ETFs provide investors with strong yields, albeit somewhat elevated credit risk. There are lots of high-yield bond ETFs available to investors. Some with higher yields, some with better performance track-records, some focusing on more niche areas of the market. A quick overview of five of these follows. ETFs include simple, cheap vanilla ETFs, smart beta ETFs, and those targeting niche, best-performing bonds.
ANGL invests in high-yield bonds that were formerly investment-grade, offering attractive yields but with elevated risk from recent downgrades. Large portfolio concentrations in Celanese and Nissan heighten risk, as further credit deterioration in these firms could significantly impact ANGL's performance. While ANGL offers a competitive 6.28% yield and low fees, alternative ETFs like FALN have outperformed with similar cost structures.
The ongoing trade war has led to a massive increase in uncertainty and bearish sentiment. Credit spreads have widened as a result, going from their lowest levels in history, to solidly above-average. Investing in high-yield corporate bond funds seems like an easy way to profit from these changes.
