HYT: Improved Valuation, But Bonds Likely To Remain Under Pressure

The BlackRock Corporate High Yield Fund offers an 11.02% yield, primarily through a diversified portfolio of junk bonds. HYT's active management and leverage have historically delivered superior real returns versus index funds, but the fund has failed to cover distributions for two consecutive years. Net asset value has declined recently, reflecting bond market pressures and inflation concerns, though current pricing at a 7.93% discount to NAV is historically reasonable.
