Our read on PSH
CJunk bonds with the interest-rate dial turned down. PSH is PGIM's active run at short-maturity high yield, measured against a 1-3 year high yield benchmark, and it pays monthly.
The Fund seeks total return through current income and capital appreciation. It primarily invests in diversified below-investment-grade fixed-income instruments and normally commits at least 80% of investable assets to those instruments or economically similar investments.
Why people hold it
- Short end by design: the yardstick is the Bloomberg 1-3 Year High Yield Corporate 1% Capped Index, so rate swings push it around less than a full-maturity junk bond fund.pgim.com
- Actively run rather than index-cloned, with at least 80% of investable assets in below-investment-grade debt or economically similar instruments.pgim.com
- Income lands monthly, and the stated mandate is total return (current income plus capital appreciation), not yield alone.
Worth knowing
- 0.45% a year sits above the high yield category median and well above index rivals like SCYB (0.03%) and SPHY (0.05%). That's the toll for an active desk.
- Short maturities trim rate sensitivity, not credit risk. The borrowers here are rated below investment grade, and defaults come with that territory.
- Trades thinly beside the category's giants and runs a modest asset base, so spreads can be wider than at the household-name high yield funds.
