Our read on CRDT

ETF.net Research

In short

FNot an index bond fund. CRDT roams high yield, investment grade and distressed debt hunting income, run by an alternatives shop that also handles the hedging, and it pays monthly.

Stated mandate

CRDT seeks current income as its primary objective, with long-term capital appreciation as a secondary objective.

Why people hold it

  • Active across the credit spectrum: investment grade and high yield corporate bonds, preferred stock, Treasuries and bank loans, chosen by bottom-up research instead of an index.simplify.us
  • Sub-advised by Asterozoa Capital, an alternatives manager responsible for both fixed income security selection and the fund's derivatives strategy.simplify.ussimplify.us 2
  • The prospectus puts guardrails on the racy stuff: up to 15% in illiquid holdings such as distressed or private investments, and no more than 10% rated CCC or lower.simplify.us
  • Pays monthly, with current income as the stated primary objective and long-term capital appreciation second.

Worth knowing

  • The 0.99% expense ratio is alternatives-manager pricing next to index core bond funds like BND at 0.03%. Active credit selection has to cover that gap.
  • Small and thinly traded, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than the giant core bond ETFs. Limit orders matter more here.
  • Junk and distressed debt move more like stocks than Treasuries when credit sours, and the fund currently sits in the bottom quartile of our aggregate-bond group.simplify.us
