"The Angel Oak High Yield Opportunities ETF generated a 3.46% NAV return in Q2 2025, slightly underperforming its corporate benchmark. The managers are adopting a cautious posture due to tight credit valuations and potential tariff headwinds, leading them to trim securitized credit in favor of high-quality corporate issuers."
In the second quarter of 2025, financial markets experienced a strong relief rally, rebounding from a sharp selloff in April that was triggered by the announcement of reciprocal tariffs. This recovery was bolstered by a 90-day delay in tariff implementation, stable Q1 corporate earnings beating expectations by 6.4%, and moderating inflation, with Core PCE declining to 2.7%. Against this macro backdrop, the Angel Oak High Yield Opportunities ETF delivered a net total NAV return of 3.46% for the quarter, slightly trailing the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Index's return of 3.53%. The fund's high yield corporate bond allocation was a major driver of performance, returning 3.84% and outperforming the benchmark index, led by strong selection in Consumer Cyclical (particularly automotive suppliers), Other Industrial (marine services and dredging), and Communications (fiber connectivity). On the downside, cash holdings and securitized credit underperformed, with non-agency RMBS and ABS returning 1.91% and 3.30%, respectively. Looking ahead, the managers express caution as high yield credit spreads trade near historic tights, about one standard deviation below their historical average. Consequently, they are trimming their overweight to out-of-index securitized credit and shifting assets toward high-quality corporate bonds that feature robust margins and resilient free cash flow.
