High-Yield Bonds: Time to Buy? |
Seeking Alpha - June 28, 2011 - By Brian Rezny
As of last Wednesday, high-yield (junk) bond funds were hit with the largest weekly outflows on record, with investors pulling $484.2 million from ETFs, and $3.4 billion from mutual funds.
And it wasn’t just last week. Investors have been running from high-yield funds for the past four consecutive weeks; it was just a couple of months ago that junk bond funds saw record inflows.
Has the high-yield sell-off created an entry point? Quite possibly. While the spread between high-yield debt and Treasury securities is below its historic norm, it has widened as of late.

And the sell-off has forced the fund into a short-term downtrend; as of last Wednesday, the fund saw a weekly outflow of $245.3 million.
