About THYUX
Morgan Stanley Pathway High Yield Fund is a mutual fund designed to deliver a high level of current income through investments primarily in below-investment-grade debt securities, commonly known as high-yield bonds. Managed by two sub-advisers—PineBridge Investments and Western Asset Management Company, each allocated approximately 50%—the fund employs complementary strategies: one emphasizes disciplined portfolio construction, robust risk management, and credit-intensive research focusing on higher-quality high-yield segments, while the other integrates top-down macroeconomic views with fundamental and relative value analysis. Key characteristics include a net expense ratio of 0.85%, average credit quality rated B, effective duration around 3.12 years, and holdings concentrated in corporate bonds across sectors like industrials (about 78%), finance (12%), and utilities (4%), with top positions in issuers such as Venture Global LNG, ITT Holdings, and Ally Financial. With total assets under management around $131 million and a TTM yield of approximately 6.78%, it benchmarks against the Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield Index, playing a significant role in fixed-income portfolios seeking elevated income potential amid higher credit risk.
