High-yield bonds: The case for active management

The inefficiencies of passive investing in high-yield bonds, combined with changing credit market dynamics, have created opportunities for an actively managed approach in this part of the market. An active approach may offer a better way to capitalize on opportunities in U.S. high yield, while helping to mitigate common challenges of passive investing – such as downside risk, inefficient benchmarks, and inflexible, often more expensive, trading.
