About BXHCX
MassMutual High Yield Fund Class C is an actively managed mutual fund focused on below‑investment‑grade corporate credit. Its primary objective is to deliver a high level of total return with an emphasis on current income by investing predominantly in high yield bonds and related securities. According to the fund’s stated approach, it targets lower‑rated U.S. debt, including securities that may be in default, aiming to capture elevated coupon income and potential price appreciation from credit improvement. The strategy sits within the high yield bond category and is designed for investors seeking exposure to the sub‑investment‑grade market across diverse industries such as industrials, consumer cyclicals, and services via a broad issuer mix. Class C shares typically feature a higher ongoing expense ratio relative to other share classes, reflecting their no‑front‑load structure.
