Actively Managed Bond ETF Proves Durable as Rates Rise

As a group, actively managed exchange traded funds are still a small sliver of the overall ETF universe. However, one area where active management has been successful is in the fixed income space. Whether it has been with emerging markets bonds or more conservative fare, some actively managed bond funds have thrived, including the Peritus High Yield ETF (HYLD).

HYLD has a 30-day SEC yield of 8.35%.

HYLD has seen net inflows since the start of June . Since the start of July, HYLD has attracted $7.74 million in new investments as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has comforted nervous investors by saying monetary policy will remain accommodating for the foreseeable future.

Over the past month, 90 days, year-to-date and over the past year, HYLD has outperformed the Barclays U.S. High-Yield Index, according to AdvisorShares data.
