Onchain fixed income so far has mostly meant Treasuries and AAA-rated CLOs: return built around minimizing credit risk.
High yield corporate bonds sit at a different point on that curve. Return on them comes from underwriting the credit quality of issuers across a portfolio.
$HYB targets a high yield strategy managed by
@NYLIManagement, with a multi-year track record behind it:
- 7.28% in 2025
- 6.88% in 2024
- 11.40% in 2023
These returns come from a credit team's judgment on which issuers get paid, applied across the portfolio and consistently enough over the years to produce them. That judgment is what's settled onchain now.
