Indexperts Yield Focused Fixed Income ETF (YFFI)

Overview

YFFI is an investment fund focused on acquiring investment grade fixed income securities across various maturities. While the primary target for the fund is corporate bonds, it also diversifies its portfolio by including U.S. Treasurys, asset-backed securities, and preferred stocks that are deemed to provide attractive cash flow and yield. The fund's strategy encompasses a thorough evaluation of yield spread differences between different securities, including corporate debt and preferred stocks issued by the same entity.

The investment approach taken by YFFI involves a detailed analysis of fundamental and technical metrics such as credit ratings, coupon rates, yield to worst, and maturity dates. Based on these evaluations, specific weights are assigned to securities concerning their target company and sector exposure, ultimately aiming to optimize cash flow and yield by selecting securities that align with both current and expected market conditions as well as the existing portfolio composition. The fund conducts monthly reviews of its holdings and quarterly assessments of its models to determine if reconstitution is needed. Additionally, as an actively managed ETF, the fund manager retains full discretion to buy or sell securities as market conditions dictate.
