High Yield Bonds have the ability to provide investors and advisors with numerous benefits to potentially enhance portfolio performance and risk management. Their inherent potential to provide equity like returns with notably less volatility makes them an attractive option for many asset allocation strategies.
Some benefits of High Yield bonds include:
> High current income
> Low correlation to other markets
> Low sensitivity to interest rates
It is a common belief that these investments have a high rate of default frequency when in fact the 25 year average default rate* is 4.2% as of 12/31/08.
Direxion has made it easier for investors and advisors to gain liquid long and/or short exposure to the high yield market through the:
> Dynamic HY Bond Fund (PDHYX)
