Our read on KORP

ETF.net Research

BMost corporate-bond ETFs just clone an index. KORP is run by people: an investment-grade core with a dial that can turn toward high yield, held in a three- to seven-year duration lane.

Stated mandate

Seeks current income by emphasizing investment-grade debt and dynamically allocating part of the portfolio to high-yield debt. The strategy uses active fundamental and quantitative analysis and generally maintains three- to seven-year duration.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Actively managed, not a tracker. Investment-grade core plus a sleeve that shifts into high-yield debt, a lever index funds in this category don't have.res.americancentury.com
  2. 02Generally runs a three- to seven-year duration, parking rate sensitivity in the intermediate zone instead of the long end.res.americancentury.com
  3. 03The portfolio does what the name says: roughly 400 corporate bonds, global in reach, with a stated monthly income schedule.americancentury.com
  4. 04Live since 2018 and sitting in the upper half of a crowded investment-grade corporate field, which is more than most active bond ETFs manage.

Worth knowing

  1. 010.29% a year is above the category median and many times what index heavyweights like VCIT and SPBO charge. The manager's judgment is the thing you're buying.
  2. 02That high-yield allocation can push credit risk past a pure investment-grade portfolio. Flexibility cuts both ways.res.americancentury.com
  3. 03Volume is moderate rather than heavyweight, so spreads can run wider than the most-traded names in the corporate-bond aisle.
