PIMCO’s newly launched Multisector Bond Active Exchange-Traded Fund (PYLD) presents an actively-managed investment opportunity offering diversified exposure to various bond and bond sub-asset classes. With its investment in 442 different bonds across the spectrum of investment-grade and high-yield bonds, PYLD provides a broader range compared to conventional bond ETFs, a beneficial aspect for shareholders seeking diversification.
PYLD employs a leveraged approach that enhances yields, returns, and volatility, providing potential advantages to investors, albeit accompanied by increased risk. The fund showcases considerable interest rate risk, reflected in a relatively high duration of 9 years, potentially influencing portfolio risk and volatility.
