(NYSE: HIX) is a closed-end investment fund designed to provide investors with a high level of current income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The fund invests primarily in income-producing fixed-income securities, including below-investment-grade corporate bonds and other high-yield debt instruments. HIX is managed by Western Asset Management Company, LLC, a global fixed-income investment manager and a subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. Western Asset uses credit research, sector analysis and portfolio management to select and manage the fund’s investments across the high-yield bond market. The fund is structured as a publicly traded closed-end fund, meaning it raises capital through a fixed number of shares that trade on the New York Stock Exchange rather than offering or redeeming shares continuously like an open-end mutual fund. Its investment exposure may include issuers and securities from the United States and other global markets, subject to the fund’s investment policies.AI Generated. May Contain Errors.
