American Beacon High Yield Bond Fund



Fund information

Investment Advisors

American Beacon Advisors, Inc. acts as the manager of the American Beacon High Yield Bond Fund. American Beacon Advisors evaluates the sub-advisors, monitors their performance and ensures adherence to investment guidelines and styles. The sub-asvisors of the fund are:

Post Advisory Group, LLC

 

Franklin Advisers, Inc.

 

 


Investment Style

The Fund invests in domestic and foreign high yield bonds. High yield issuers are generally those which have below investment grade ratings because they are relatively small in size, relatively young in years, relatively leveraged financially (perhaps borrowing heavily to finance expansion or due to a leveraged buyout), or formerly “blue chip” companies that have encountered some financial difficulties. These types of securities are commonly referred to as "junk bonds".

The Fund’s weighted average maturity of debt securities is generally expected to be from six to eight years. By emphasizing below investment grade debt securities, the Fund seeks to offer shareholders a regular stream of high income, while providing capital appreciation over time.

In selecting investments, the sub-advisors relies heavily on internal research and credit analysis. The investment advisors will adjust the Fund’s overall credit rating and average maturity based on its judgment of the economic climate, industry dynamics, and values in the high yield market.
