About WHIAX
Macquarie High Income Fund Class A is a mutual fund designed primarily to generate a high level of current income, with secondary emphasis on capital appreciation when consistent with its main goal. Classified within the high yield bond category, the fund invests predominantly in high-yield, high-risk fixed income securities issued by U.S. entities. It can allocate up to 20% of its assets to common stocks, providing an additional avenue for capital growth. Managed by a team with deep expertise in credit markets, the fund follows a research-driven, actively managed strategy to select holdings that balance income and risk. As of its recent reporting, the fund holds a diversified portfolio spanning over 280 securities, with the ten largest holdings comprising about 13.5% of its assets. Key features include a monthly dividend payout, a trailing twelve-month yield of around 6.5-7%, and an expense ratio near 0.97%. Macquarie High Income Fund Class A plays a notable role for investors seeking higher income potential in exchange for increased volatility, typically incorporating non-investment grade bonds and maintaining a relatively low interest rate sensitivity through its portfolio composition.
