Principal Active High Yield ETF (YLD) is an actively managed ETF that invests at least 80% of its net assets in below-investment-grade, or junk, fixed-income securities, including bonds and bank loans. The fund also holds U.S. Treasury securities, investment-grade senior floating-rate bank loans, and preferred securities, providing a mix of higher-yielding and lower-risk fixed-income exposure.
High yield bond ETFs typically focus on debt issued by companies rated BB or lower by major credit rating agencies, offering higher coupon income in exchange for greater credit risk. The inclusion of senior floating-rate bank loans allows the funds interest payments to adjust periodically with benchmark rates, which can provide a hedge against rising rate environments.

- Fed rate cuts lift investor appetite for junk bond ETFs
