VanEck Global Fallen Angel High Yield Bond UCITS ETF (GFA.L)
About this ETF
This VanEck Global Fallen Angel High Yield Bond UCITS ETF provides investors with a direct avenue to capitalize on the established market inefficiency of "Fallen Angels." These are bonds that initially held an investment-grade rating but have subsequently been downgraded to high-yield status. Due to restrictions on institutional portfolios, these securities frequently face excessive selling pressure. Despite this, Fallen Angels commonly surpass the performance of the broader high-yield market while generally possessing superior average credit quality.
