About the PCHI bond portfolio
Polen High Income ETF holds a portfolio of bonds. They yield 7.48% to maturity, have an average coupon of 6.92% and an average maturity of 5.6 years. With an effective duration of 3.07 years, a one-percentage-point rise in interest rates would lower the fund's price by about 3.1%, and a fall of the same size would raise it by about as much.
Because the bonds trade at an average of 100.53 per 100 of face value, prices drift down toward par as the bonds mature, which takes roughly −0.59% a year off the coupon income. The current yield is 6.89%. Over the next 12 months, rates could rise by about 2.44 percentage points before the price drop would cancel out a year of yield.
