Morningstar's Take by Cara Esser, CFA 10-09-15
Longtime lead manager Mark Vaselkiv has proved adept
at navigating T. Rowe Price High Yield through choppy
waters, and his experienced high-yield team has shown
aknack forsecurityselection,whichhascontributedmost
positively to the fund’s returns over the long term. The
firm and this team put shareholders first in a number of
ways, including closing the fund to new investors in April
2012 (the second time during Vaselkiv's tenure). In
addition,the fund’s74-basis-pointexpenseratio isamong
the lowest of its similarly distributed peers. The
experienced team, strong and stable process,
shareholder-friendly moves, low fees, and strong returns
earned the fund an upgrade to a Morningstar Analyst
Rating of Gold from Silver.
Vaselkiv and his team's valuation-focused process
has led the fund to a more conservative stance recently,
as he anticipates continued volatility in the high-yield
market. Vaselkiv has brought the fund’s CCC allocation
down a bit, though he still had a slight overweighting to
the benchmark as of June 2015. That said, CCCs have
performedpoorly recently,butVaselkivandhis teamhave
done a good job of picking credits. Those bonds have
added 31 basis points in return based on credit selection
versus the Credit Suisse High Yield Index over the trailing
12 months through June 2015.
Over the long term, Vaselkiv and his team have built
a strong track record. The fund’s 10-year return as of
September 2015 was better than 80% of its high-yield
peers, but the ride hasn’t always been smooth. Vaselkiv
took a more aggressive stance coming out of the 2008
market crash, and the fund lost nearly 100 basis points
more than its average peer during the third quarter of
2011 when the bond market quickly sold off. Cutting back
on some of the fund’s more aggressive positions at the
start of 2014, including a years-long underweighting to
energy firms, led to a smaller-than-average loss during
the brief high-yield sell-off in July. As the high-yield
market shows signs of stress, Vaselkiv is becoming more
defensive in both quality and sector allocation, which has
helped returns for the year to date.
