About this ETF
The MUSE ETF is an actively managed fund that strategically invests in a broad array of high-yield fixed income instruments, without restriction on their maturity. It offers exposure across diverse fixed income categories, including bank loans, international securities denominated in various currencies, US government and corporate debt, and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). Up to 20% of its assets may be channeled into securitized products such as residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities (ABS), and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). Furthermore, investments may extend to emerging market debt and bonds facing financial distress. The portfolio construction relies on thorough, independent, bottom-up analysis to pinpoint undervalued securities possessing an attractive risk-adjusted return potential. Due to its active management style, the fund might undertake frequent trading activities, which could lead to higher transaction expenses. Derivatives may also be employed for purposes such as hedging market risks, overall risk management, and enhancing income generation.

Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
