SPDR Bloomberg Short Term High Yield Bond ETF

SJNK tracks a market-value-weighted index of short-term publicly issued US high yield corporate bonds, with a remaining maturity of less than five years.

SPDR® Bloomberg Short Term High Yield Bond ETF (SJNK) aims to reduce risk by focusing on junk bonds with maturities under 5 years. SJNK is well-diversified across sectors and issuers, with a significant allocation to consumer cyclicals and industrials. Despite marginally outperforming a junk bond benchmark, SJNK has suffered significant value decay and underperformed "fallen angels" ETFs.

The Fed made another 75bp hike and remains committed to reining in inflation as quickly as possible. This suggests a "higher for longer" monetary policy rate approach, which would keep the policy rate both high and elevated over the medium term.
