About this ETF
The investment seeks to provide a high level of current income. The fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund ("ETF") that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in below-investment-grade (commonly known as "junk" or "high yield") fixed-income securities, such as bonds and bank loans. The fund invests in U.S. treasury securities, investment grade bank loans (also known as senior floating rate interests), and preferred securities.

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.
