Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment fund, which engages in seeking high current income investment. It seeks to deliver attractive returns from U.S. high yield bond markets to investors. The firm’s investment strategy is to maximize total return from monetizing macroeconomic themes and exploiting sector and issuer performance and rating dispersion. The company was founded on April 24, 1998 and is headquartered in New York, NY.

The Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund offers a 9.07% distribution yield, comparable to other closed-end junk bond funds. The fund has outperformed both the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the Bloomberg High Yield Very Liquid Index over the past six months. The fund's leverage ratio is below one-third of assets, indicating a reasonable balance between risk and potential returns.

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund and BNY Mellon High Yield Strategies Fund offer high monthly distributions and are trading at attractive discounts. Both funds utilize leverage to increase their potential returns and income-generation, but this comes with increased volatility and now higher borrowing costs. DHY has a stronger performance track record, but DHF looks like the better value today with strong distribution coverage as well.

DHF Vs. DHY: High Yield Plays At Attractive Discounts

The Credit Suisse High Yield Bond closed-end fund aims to provide a high yield to income-seeking investors through investments in speculative-grade bonds. The DHY fund's current yield of 9.64% is higher than the benchmark index, but it slightly underperformed the index over the past three months in terms of total returns. The fund's portfolio consists primarily of junk bonds, but it takes precautionary measures to mitigate default risks and has a diversified issuer base.

We review CEF market valuation and performance through the second week of November and highlight recent market action. Most CEF sectors struggled during the week, with only Muni sectors finishing in the green due to a reversal in Treasury yields. There is a misconception that the launch date of a fund gives it a locked-in yield position, but this is not true.

We review CEF market valuation and performance through the second week of October and highlight recent market action. CEFs had a good week; however, discount action remains depressed. Equity CEFs have to rely on total NAV performance to anchor their distributions rather than net income.

CEF Weekly Review: Performance Is The Distribution Anchor For Equity CEFs

The Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund offers a high level of income with a current yield of 9.79%, higher than most other options in the market. The fund has underperformed the American high yield bond index in terms of price performance, but it actually delivers a much higher total return. The fund primarily invests in U.S. high-yield debt, with a small allocation to cash and common stock.

DHY: Junk Bonds Appear Overvalued, But This Fund Is A Good Way To Play Them

We highlight our strategy of allocating to a pair of sister High Yield corporate bond CEFs Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc and Credit Suisse High Yield Bond across our portfolios. Specifically, allocating to this pair of funds and doing an occasional rotation between them can deliver double-barreled performance via two independent sources of alpha. Our lazy-man approach to rotating across these funds has, in effect, more than doubled the yield on offer across these funds.

Recent market volatility has opened up valuation divergences between very similar CEFs, creating opportunities for switches or outright holds. This offers income investors an opportunity to pick up additional yield, adopt a more defensive stance, and generate alpha in their portfolios.

Corporate bonds have performed strongly so far this year, outperforming bank loans, as Treasury yields continue to move lower. Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund allocates primarily to high-yield corporate bonds with a pocket of CLO debt and bank loans that has allowed its net income to remain resilient last year.
