Sure, 5.2% 10-year Treasury yields are tempting — but how does 12% sound? Fat yields are out there if you look hard enough.

Some corners of the bond market offer yields that look more like equity returns, but the borrowers on the other side of those loans are ones the banks have already turned away.

BondBloxx CCC Rated USD High Yield Corp Bd ETF (XCCC) now offers an attractive entry point as CCC spreads have widened to the top of their range. XCCC provides 12.5% SEC yield, monthly payouts, and sector/issuer diversification, mitigating single-credit and sector risks in the riskiest credit segment. With a low duration of 2.4 years, XCCC is less sensitive to rising rates, enhancing its risk/reward profile versus long-duration treasuries.

Covered call ETFs dominate income investing conversations, but leaning entirely on one options strategy carries a hidden long-term cost most investors overlook.

Covered call ETFs offer tempting yields but quietly surrender your upside every time the market rallies. Two fixed-income alternatives push past 11% without that hidden cost, though the trade-offs they demand deserve a hard look before you buy.

Investors are returning to the bond market in force, driving fixed-income ETFs toward another record year as higher yields make bonds attractive for income-seeking investors once again.

The BondBloxx CCC Rated USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF remains resilient, outperforming leveraged peers in 2026 with only a -4% total return decline. XCCC's performance is anchored by moderate CCC credit spreads and low duration, but the fund's high-risk, distressed credit profile exposes it to default volatility. Current CCC spreads, at 10.13%, sit near historical medians, suggesting neither excessive risk nor opportunity relative to past cycles.

From a new Fed chair nominee to a hard turn to risk-off trading in some parts of the market - the broader landscape is rapidly changing for ETF investors. BondBloxx ETFs co-founder Joanna Gallegos and Strategas Securities technical strategist Todd Sohn sit down with CNBC's Dominic Chu to discuss this and much more on “ETF Edge.

BondBloxx CCC Rated USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF offers high yields but carries significant credit risk due to its focus on CCC-rated bonds. Current high-yield spreads are tight, making XCCC unattractive for new positions; holding is advised if already owned, but avoid new entries for now. The ETF's moderate duration, sector concentration, and high turnover ratio highlight risks tied to refinancing and potential spread widening.
