Their Corporate Credit Fund, which trades under the ticker BCAAX for retail investors, largely focuses on high-yield bonds. The fund currently holds a little over 70% in high-yield bonds, 10% in cash and about 18% in investment-grade bonds. Another inefficiency the managers exploit is the area between low investment-grade bonds and the higher-rated high-yield market, Zox said. Investment-grade portfolio managers are shying away from the lower rated end of the investment-grade market, and high-yield managers are sticking with the higher rated end of the high-yield market, he explained. "We find better values in the lower rated part of the investment-grade market than the higher rated part of the high-yield market," Zox said.

“Most of us have been wrong on the timing of things going bad, and right now there is really not much of a problem. That means it can be years before a company needs to refinance those bonds at higher interest rates. The longer inflation remains elevated, the longer interest rates will also stay high, meaning that an increasing number of companies could be forced to shoulder higher borrowing costs. Their latest economic projections suggested that interest rates could be hovering near 4.6 percent at the end of 2024. That would be lower than where they are now, but still a big change after years of near-zero interest rates.
