"Angel Oak High Yield ETF outperformed in Q1 2026 despite Iran conflict volatility, with energy sector driving gains from rising commodity prices. Fund emphasizes quality corporate issuers while trimming securitized credit exposure amid geopolitical uncertainty and inflation risks from sustained energy price increases."
The Angel Oak High Yield Opportunities ETF returned -0.15% in Q1 2026, outperforming the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Index at -0.50%. The quarter began strongly but turned negative in March following the Iran conflict that started February 28th, creating market volatility and inflationary pressures. Energy was the top performing sector, benefiting from rising LNG and methanol prices tied to the conflict. The U.S. economy remains resilient with stable employment, real wage growth, and support from OBBBA tax cuts, though the conflict poses risks of persistent inflation and margin pressure. High-yield spreads widened meaningfully from post-GFC lows but appear attractive on a three-month basis. The fund's securitized credit allocation outperformed, contributing 25 basis points. Looking ahead, the manager emphasizes higher-quality corporate issuers with strong fundamentals while gradually trimming out-of-index securitized exposure to balance risk and return amid heightened geopolitical uncertainty and limited visibility into conflict duration.
