JPMorgan Active High Yield ETF (JPHY) launched with a $2B institutional anchor, reflecting strong confidence in JPM's active management capabilities. JPHY aims for high income and capital appreciation via active security selection, leveraging JPM's research and allowing up to 20% in investment grade or other assets. Active management is favored in today's market, but current tight high yield spreads make this a less attractive entry point for retail investors.
