"The Fund returned 2.04% in Q3 2025, trailing its benchmark. Managers are maintaining a cautious outlook, focusing on quality corporate issuers and reducing securitized credit exposure amid rising macro uncertainties and tariff implementation."
For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Angel Oak High Yield Opportunities ETF returned 2.04% (NAV), underperforming the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Index which returned 2.54%. The quarter saw strong asset class returns and the initial FOMC rate cut of 25 bps. However, underlying economic data points to softening growth, rising unemployment, and potential stagflationary pressures. The Fund benefited from positive contributions in the Technology, Finance, and Energy sectors, while Communications and Consumer Cyclicals detracted. Looking ahead, the managers are adopting a cautious stance, emphasizing high-quality corporate bonds and trimming out-of-index high yield securitized credit to manage risk.
