About KHYIX

DWS High Income Fund Institutional Class is a mutual fund that primarily targets high current income through a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities. Managed with an active approach, the fund invests at least 65% of its assets in high yield bonds, typically rated below investment grade, emphasizing relative value and robust credit research. With a secondary objective of capital appreciation, the fund spreads its holdings across a broad array of sectors, focusing on securities that offer attractive yields relative to their risk profile. This fund is positioned within the high yield bond category and is known for its monthly income distributions and competitive yield, recently reported at over 6% annually. Minimum investment requirements for the institutional class are substantial, reflecting its focus on institutional investors. Credit exposure leans heavily toward BB and B rated bonds, with select holdings in higher and lower-rated instruments for diversification. Since its inception in 1978, the fund has played a significant role for investors seeking enhanced income streams compared to traditional core bond funds, while accepting the higher volatility and credit risk associated with high yield markets.
