Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

What drove fund performance during the past 12 months?

  • The high yield market posted solid gains in the year ended May 31, 2025, despite growing concerns about the Trump administration’s trade policies during the last few months of the period. The resilient economy, healthy equity returns, and mostly favorable technical conditions supported the asset class.

  • Compared with the style-specific ICE BofA US High Yield Constrained Index, the fund’s strongest relative results were in the basic industry, transportation, and capital goods segments. By credit quality, our underweight allocation in the BB rating tier marginally contributed to relative results.

  • Relative to the style-specific benchmark, the fund’s weakest results were in the energy, retail, and media industries. Our positioning in the B and CCC rating tiers detracted, as did selection among BBs.

  • Notably, the fund’s assets increased dramatically over the reporting period following several sizable inflows.

  • The fund seeks total return and, secondarily, current income by investing primarily in U.S. below investment-grade corporate debt securities. We expected more income-driven returns due to very tight spread levels and limited room for capital appreciation. As such, we sought to position the portfolio with a current yield advantage versus the index in an effort to outperform while being cognizant of risk as very tight spread levels did not justify excessive risk taking, in our view. Within the higher-quality rating tiers, we remained underweight BBs and overweight Bs in accordance with our emphasis on current yield. We continued to consider bank loans alongside bonds when looking to optimize our positioning within an issuer’s capital structure.
