About THIYX
Touchstone High Yield Fund Institutional Class is a mutual fund in the high yield bond category, designed to provide income through investments in lower-quality, higher-yielding debt securities. It primarily invests at least 65% of its assets in U.S. high-income bonds rated BB or below by major agencies like Standard & Poor's or Moody's, or unrated securities considered speculative, which offer elevated yields but carry greater vulnerability to economic downturns and credit risks. The fund's portfolio emphasizes domestic bonds around 79%, with allocations to non-U.S. bonds, preferred securities, convertibles, and cash investments, featuring credit weightings heavily in BB (49%) and B (30%) ratings. Top holdings include issuers in industries such as telecommunications, energy, insurance, consumer goods, leasing, tobacco, healthcare, and funeral services, with the top 10 comprising about 14% of assets for relatively diversified exposure compared to peers. Launched in 2012 and managed by Touchstone, this institutional share class targets investors seeking income-oriented fixed income strategies amid varying interest rate environments.
