About this screen
High-yield bonds are issued by companies with weaker credit ratings. They pay higher interest than investment-grade bonds and tend to move with the stock market in a downturn.
Compare the yield to maturity with the distribution yield, and check the 1-year maximum drawdown on the Risk tab.
