- What does RYHDX invest in?
- The fund's primary objective is to deliver investment returns that closely track the performance of the high yield bond market, before accounting for any fees and operational expenses. It commits a minimum of 80% of its net assets, along with any capital borrowed for investment purposes, to financial instruments engineered to mimic the economic characteristics of the U.S. and Canadian high-yield bond markets, or directly to high-yield debt securities. To gain this market exposure, the fund predominantly invests in derivative instruments like credit default swaps, swaps on exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and bond futures. It is important to note that this fund is not diversified.
