ANGL
VanEck Vectors Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF

Latest Market Updates*

  • With over $150B of new fallen angel high yield bonds through September, 2020 is already a record year, and we expect an additional $100B to $125B of additional volume for the remainder of the year. Source: ICE Data Indices, as of 9/30/2020.
  • With this oncoming wave of downgrades, we expect to see a similar technical pattern of forced selling as we have historically.
  • We believe new bonds entering the index may come in at deeper than average discounts.

*Returns less than one year are not annualized.
Index data on and prior to February 28, 2020 reflects that of the ICE BofA US Fallen Angel High Yield Index (H0FA). From February 28, 2020 forward, the index data reflects that of the Fund's underlying index, the ICE US Fallen Angel High Yield 10% Constrained Index (H0CF). Index history which includes periods prior to February 28, 2020 links H0FA and H0CF and is not intended for third party use.

The table presents past performance which is no guarantee of future results and which may be lower or higher than current performance. Returns reflect temporary contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the ETF incurred all expenses and fees, investment returns would have been reduced. Investment returns and ETF share values will fluctuate so that investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. ETF returns assume that dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV.

The "After Tax Held" represents total return after taxes on distributions and assumes shares have not been sold. "After Tax Sold" represents total return after taxes on distributions and the sale of Fund shares. After-tax returns reflect the highest federal income tax rate but exclude state and local taxes. After-tax returns are based on NAV.
