For the Advisor shares, the 30-day SEC yield is 4.20% and the 30-day annualized yield is 5.08%.</p><p>For five years, the T.

Rowe Price U.S. High Yield Fund has about $500 million in assets, although the total assets under management at T. Rowe Price under the same strategy managed by Loome is about $2.5 billion. That compares to an overall high-yield bond market of $1.5 trillion tracked by the ICE BofA High Yield Constrained Index.

In the current environment, with prices having recovered, \"the best you can have is an income opportunity,\" he said. But there are also price advantages for junk bonds in the current economic climate.</p><p><b>Advantages in a rising-rate environment</b></p><p>We're in the midst of a pullback for U.S. stocks, which may reflect investors' fears of inflation, in the wake of a massive increase in the money supply from Federal Reserve bond purchases and the federal government's stimulus. Consumer prices in the U.S. have risen 4.2% over the past year  -- the largest increase since 2008.</p><p>Short-term interest rates remain near zero because the Fed's target range for the federal funds rate is zero to 0.25%. But that may change if the Federal Open Market Committee believes inflation is likely to remain above its 2% long-term target. Meanwhile, the market has already reacted with a bond selloff that has pushed long-term yields higher. The yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury notes  has increased to 1.65% from 0.93% at the end of last year.</p><p>Investors holding shares of bond funds will be nervous as interest rates rise because bond market values -- and the funds' share prices -- will go down.</p><p>\"When you look at the availability of fixed income and where interest rates are, the least-worst place to be is leveraged loans and high yield (bonds), because they have shorter term structures and the highest coupons,\" Loome said.</p><p>Why would junk bonds and non-investment-grade commercial loans be the best fixed-income space in a rising-rate environment? There are three reasons:</p><p>So a high-yield bond fund enjoys the advantages of an improving economy, because it means defaults are less likely. It enjoys pricing advantages, especially if its duration is very low, because the portfolio will turn over more quickly with freed-up money being invested in new bonds paying more.</p>","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>This high-yield strategy may be best for income as inflation becomes a threat</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nThis high-yield strategy may be best for income as inflation becomes a threat\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-21 22:05 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/this-high-yield-strategy-may-be-best-for-income-as-inflation-becomes-a-threat-11621596885?mod=home-page><strong>MarketWatch</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Kevin Loome of T.

He is based in Philadelphia.Fund outperformanceThe T. Rowe Price U.S. High Yield Fund's institutional shares  are rated five stars by Morningstar. That's the investment research firm's highest rating. The fund's Investor share class  and Advisor share class  have four-star ratings.Here are total returns (with dividends reinvested) through May 14 for all three classes for the fund against its benchmark, the ICE BofA High Yield Constrained Index, and two large exchange-traded funds -- the SPDR Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Bond ETF $(JNK)$ and the iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF $(HYG.UK)$, which are both rated three stars by Morningstar.The T.

But there are also price advantages for junk bonds in the current economic climate.Advantages in a rising-rate environmentWe're in the midst of a pullback for U.S. stocks, which may reflect investors' fears of inflation, in the wake of a massive increase in the money supply from Federal Reserve bond purchases and the federal government's stimulus. Consumer prices in the U.S. have risen 4.2% over the past year  -- the largest increase since 2008.Short-term interest rates remain near zero because the Fed's target range for the federal funds rate is zero to 0.25%. But that may change if the Federal Open Market Committee believes inflation is likely to remain above its 2% long-term target. Meanwhile, the market has already reacted with a bond selloff that has pushed long-term yields higher. The yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury notes  has increased to 1.65% from 0.93% at the end of last year.Investors holding shares of bond funds will be nervous as interest rates rise because bond market values -- and the funds' share prices -- will go down.\"When you look at the availability of fixed income and where interest rates are, the least-worst place to be is leveraged loans and high yield (bonds), because they have shorter term structures and the highest coupons,\" Loome said.Why would junk bonds and non-investment-grade commercial loans be the best fixed-income space in a rising-rate environment? There are three reasons:So a high-yield bond fund enjoys the advantages of an improving economy, because it means defaults are less likely. It enjoys pricing advantages, especially if its duration is very low, because the portfolio will turn over more quickly with freed-up money being invested in new bonds paying more.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":161,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":191167145,"gmtCreate":1620865108687,"gmtModify":1704349435590,"author":{"id":"3581022418071084","authorId":"3581022418071084","name":"eles","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/02b27431d702721da3287fa79931af93","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581022418071084","authorIdStr":"3581022418071084"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hahahab","listText":"Hahahab","text":"Hahahab","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/70753c44d1010d14c3dbb1e003157255","width":"1080","height":"2288"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/191167145","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":219,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":191166591,"gmtCreate":1620864969613,"gmtModify":1704349430485,"author":{"id":"3581022418071084","authorId":"3581022418071084","name":"eles","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/02b27431d702721da3287fa79931af93","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581022418071084","authorIdStr":"3581022418071084"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hahaha","listText":"Hahaha","text":"Hahaha","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d77e311701966b3e6c53e4bdbd8bfa77","width":"1080","height":"1920"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/191166591","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":435,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
