ISD: A Decent Way To Get Junk Bond Exposure If The Price Improves
PGIM High Yield Bond Fund offers a 9.11% yield, outperforming indices but lagging some peers; distribution appears sustainable for now. Fund's short duration and floating-rate exposure provide some insulation from long-term rate volatility, but rate cuts may reduce net investment income. The fund's portfolio has some floating-rate exposure, it is not all junk bonds.

ISD: A Lifecycle Progression To A Sell (Rating Downgrade)
PGIM High Yield Bond Fund is downgraded to 'Sell' due to tight NAV discount, low true yield, and high ROC utilization. The fund's 9% distribution is misleading, with an actual yield of around 6.3% due to high ROC and floating rate leverage costs. U.S. high yield spreads are at decade lows, making the risk-reward profile unattractive for ISD compared to unleveraged alternatives.

ISD: Steady As It Goes
ISD fund continues to deliver steady performance with long-term above-average returns. However, I remain concerned about the fund's distribution, currently set at 9.2% of NAV, compared to long-term fund returns. Furthermore, a yawning gap between credit defaults and credit spreads suggests investors are not being compensated for elevated credit risks.
