FTHY: Monthly Distribution From High-Yield Fixed-Income Exposure

First Trust High Yield Opportunities 2027 Term Fund offers high-yield fixed-income exposure with a ~5.5% discount and a term structure set to liquidate by Aug. 1, 2027. FTHY's blend of bonds and floating-rate senior loans helps offset leverage costs, while its 10.72% distribution yield is attractive but not fully covered by net investment income. The fund's portfolio is heavily tilted toward below-investment-grade debt, including a meaningful allocation to CCC-rated securities, presenting heightened credit risk.
