SCYB: Not The Time For High Yield
Inflation post-Covid has driven demand for high-yield investments like the Schwab High Yield Bond ETF (SCYB), which boasts a 7.88% yield and low expense ratio. SCYB's balanced duration profile and strong performance have attracted over $1 billion in assets, despite ongoing macroeconomic concerns and interest rate uncertainties. The fund's portfolio includes a significant portion of BB and B-rated bonds, raising concerns about the risk-reward balance given current tight credit spreads.
SCYB: Great ETF, But The Outlook Is Mixed
The Schwab High Yield Bond ETF offers exposure to high-yield corporate bonds with a low expense ratio. SCYB's diversified approach reduces some high-yield investing risks, but tight credit spreads may limit bond price appreciation potential. Inflation risks in the US may lead to fewer rate cuts next year, making SCYB a "Hold" despite its attractive 7.24% 30-day SEC Yield.
SCYB: Simple High-Yield Corporate Bond ETF, 7.2% Dividend Yield
SCYB is a simple high-yield corporate bond index ETF. It has a solid 7.3% dividend yield, and is cheaper than its peers, with a 0.03% expense ratio. SCYB is a solid investment opportunity, albeit vanilla, without any significant advantages or disadvantages to high-yield peers.
SCYB: Strategic Exposure To A Risky Sector
SCYB is a high-yield bond ETF with $187M AUM, tracking the ICE BofA US Cash Pay High Yield Constrained Index. SCYB holds 1,562 well-diversified high-yield bonds, with 53% in BB-rated and 45% in B-rated bonds. CCC bonds are facing bearish tecnical factors that may cause them to perform poorly even in a positive economic environment.
