VanEck Vectors Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETFANGL Fund Description
The VanEck Vectors Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF tracks a market-value-weighted index of bonds that were rated investment grade at issuance but later downgraded to sub-investment grade.
ANGL Factset Analytics Insight
ANGL looks for value in the high-yield space by targeting "fallen angels", bonds that are under duress or have been downgraded. The investment thesis is interesting. Credit downgrades can generate short-term downward pricing pressure. Future credit upgrade will compress the credit spread, which can lead to price appreciation. In combination, the strategy aims to buy low and sell high for maximum total returns. ANGL is limited to USD issues, but holds a sizable share of debt from non-US issers. It also has a markedly high average maturity and duration, and thus carries significant interest-rate risk in addition to credit risk.Retail traders should find plentiful liquidity with modest spreads. It’s a different picture for the institutional trader, who will find that poor underlying liquidity inhibits efficient block execution. ANGL charges a very reasonable fee for a novel strategy, though it tends to lag its index by far more than the listed fee, likely due to the difficulty of trading the underlying bonds. That’s a problem for any high-yield bond fund, but it hits ANGL especially hard, raising holding costs.
