About IHYAX
Voya High Yield Bond Fund Class A is a mutual fund that seeks to provide investors with a high level of current income and total return through investments primarily in higher-quality high yield corporate bonds and strategically allocated convertible securities. Launched on December 15, 1998, it aims to generate high income with less interest rate sensitivity than core fixed income strategies and lower volatility than equities, emphasizing fundamental analysis and credit research for upside participation and downside protection. The portfolio features a diversified credit quality profile, with significant allocations to BB (44.82%) and B (35.02%) rated securities as of May 31, 2025, alongside exposure to sectors like consumer cyclical (17.28%), consumer non-cyclical (13.31%), and communications (12.33%). Maturity is concentrated in 3-5 years (46.90%), supporting its focus on intermediate-term high yield debt. Dividends are paid monthly, with a distribution yield of 5.15% at NAV as of November 30, 2025. Managed by an experienced team including Justin Kass, David Oberto, and Ethan Turner since June 16, 2025, the fund plays a key role in fixed income markets by offering income-oriented exposure to non-investment grade securities for portfolio diversification.
