About PIAMX
PIA High Yield (MACS) Fund Managed Account Completion Shares is a mutual fund designed primarily to seek a high level of current income, with a secondary objective of capital growth consistent with that goal. Launched on December 26, 2017, and managed by Pacific Income Advisers, it invests at least 80% of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of domestic and foreign high yield instruments, including bonds, convertible securities, loan participations, and preferred stocks. The fund employs a disciplined, fundamental approach, combining top-down industry analysis with granular bottom-up credit selection, favoring smaller, oligopolistic companies in resilient sectors for attractive risk-adjusted returns. Notable features include a low expense ratio of 0.18%, monthly dividend payouts yielding around 9%, assets under management of approximately $182 million, and a portfolio turnover of 29%. Benchmarked against the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Index, it holds 121 securities, with top holdings like Innophos Holdings and Verde Purchaser representing about 14.5% of assets. Classified in the Miscellaneous Fixed Income category, it serves as a completion strategy to enhance fixed income portfolios with high yield exposure while mitigating security-specific risks.
