Tuesday, June 18, 1:22 PM PowerShares' Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio (PGHY) is set to launch on June 20 with an expense ratio of 0.35%.

Several high yield funds have built-in hedges against higher rates, including HYHG, THHY, HYLS. Comment! [Financials]
Friday, April 12, 12:46 PM More from Gundlach: Bond indexing has been a wonderful strategy for many years, but now the well-followed indexes (BND, AGG) have too short of a duration and are overloaded with Treasurys. The value is in non-traditional sectors like emerging markets (EMB), non-agency MBS, bank loans (BKLN), and global high yield (GHYG). 4 Comments [U.S. Economy, Financials]

Tuesday, July 24, 2012, 1:33 PM European high-yield investors don't know from troubles there, ahead by 12% YTD with stocks in the tank, writes James Tomlins. He believes a world of microscopic rates, slow growth, and deleveraging has altered correlations, allowing high-yield to perform even as returns to shareholders lag. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
Thursday, June 7, 2012, 2:36 PM When life deals you lemons ... banks (particularly European ones) cutting back lending activity in Asia is leading to a ramp in the development of the corporate bond market there. Companies (ex-Japan) issued $398B in bonds last year, up 29% Y/Y as syndicated bank loans dove 44%. Comment! [Global & FX]
Thursday, April 5, 2012, 12:32 PM A new offering of ETFs offers high yield investors greater international - both developed and emerging - exposure.
