AdvisorShares Peritus High Yield ETF (HYLD) began trading 12/01/2010, becoming the first actively managed ETF offering exposure to high yield corporate bonds (also known as junk bonds). Its objective is to generate high current income with a secondary goal of capital appreciation.
Timothy Gramatovich and Ronald Heller of Peritus Asset Management, the fund's subadvisor, will manage HYLD's portfolio. As with other ETFs sponsored by AdvisorShares, the net expense ratio is capped but still steep at 1.35%, of which 1.10% is the management fee.
