People love to compare HY spreads to historical levels but don’t appreciate that senior secured bonds are now 32%of the HY index, near record highs. Issuance is 47% of total YTD vs 11% in '00-'08 & 38% last 6 yrs. Demand for safety persists. #SecuredBonds

A healthy $22B in US #highyield bond activity in May as borrowers rushed to beat the debt ceiling deadline. Of note: issuance of secured HY deals continues amid what remains a tentative investor base (the high yield segment usually entails unsecured debt) #leveragedloan

Early-year U.S. #highyield momentum was no match for shockwaves caused by SVB/Credit Suisse, leaving issuance in March at a paltry $5.6B. While overall returns finished in the black, triple-C names lagged, highlighting investor risk-aversion buff.ly/41omzRY @JakemaLewis
