Our read on VMSB
BVoya sub-advises ETFs for other shops. In December 2025 it put its own badge on one: an active, go-anywhere income fund where a credit desk, not an index, decides which corner of the bond market to lean into.
The actively managed ETF seeks high current income and, secondarily, long-term capital appreciation. It normally invests at least 80% of net assets plus investment borrowings in income-producing bonds or derivatives with similar economic characteristics.
Why people hold it
- Go-anywhere mandate: at least 80% of assets in income-producing bonds or derivatives with similar economics, with a manager setting the sector mix rather than a benchmark.
- Run by Voya's Multi-Sector Fixed Income team, the same desk behind the firm's flagship Intermediate Bond Fund.voya.com
- Income comes first in the charter, capital appreciation second, so the mandate is explicit about what the manager is chasing.
- Portfolio construction is a relative strength here: the book is spread broadly rather than leaning on a few outsized positions.
Worth knowing
- 0.45% a year sits above the 0.40% typical for its bond peer group, and well above index options such as AGZ (0.15%) or BGRN (0.20%).
- A December 2025 launch means a short record. Active credit calls take years of full market cycles to judge.
- Trading is light next to the category's veterans, and payouts have not settled into a fixed calendar rhythm.
