Junk Bonds Take The Lead In Fixed-Income Returns

FYI: market into a tailspin late last year, the asset class has come back.
High-yield is the best performer in U.S. fixed-income in the year so far, after chalking up positive returns in April to outperform investment-grade and Treasuries.
High-yield debt has returned 3.8% in the year so far, according to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Index System. That compares with 1.7% for investment grade and 1.3% for Treasuries.
