I saw another post about QQQ, which got me browsing Invesco's funds and naturally I was attracted to the high yield section...

Why the hell wouldn't everyone buy a decent amount of PHB?

It's a corporate bond fund that yields almost 5% on a MONTHLY basis. Seems like a no brainer for passive income....unless they default. What's the likelihood of that??
Anyone own this one or others?

Edit: JNK is even better...over 6% yield

According to Moody’s the average default rate for high-yield bonds is 4.8% since 1983. Over the past twelve months through October 2014, high-yield defaults were 2.4%.

That 30 day yield is still annualized

I couldn't find duration on the one for the second link you posted. The first one doesn't look too bad. Make sure you stay diversified.

Beware of rising interest rates. I've been saying that for 2 or 3 years. One year I will be right

Interest rates will not rise again this year. Too much going on with yellen/trump. Yellen raises rates market drops trump has a shot at winning. Trump has expressed that he will replace yellen which means yellen will do everything to support the market til the election

The OT has been pumping the hell out of this for years. Particularly in babe threads.

Obviously not...but it distributes monthly. What's that? Close to 1/2 a percent per month?
MY APOLOGIES.

I too am worried about interest rates rising. I'm more comfortable owning BGT at a 8-11% discount than PHB at a premium. The only caveat that worries me is lack of liquidity in the bank loan market. BGT yields 5.42% after the current rally. I'd rather buy it when it's selling at a larger than average discount however. Just my thoughts.

Look at Woodbridge wealth capital. They pay you 6% interest and your principal remains in tact.
