The Nomura High Yield Total Return ETF is the only new ETF listing as of October 1, 2026, making it the sole destination today for new fixed-income money in an actively managed vehicle.
Active management in high-yield credit means a portfolio team makes ongoing decisions about which bonds to hold. For investors still reaching for credit income in a crowded passive high-yield market, that discretion is the core selling point.
The fund carries a 0.45% net expense ratio, a fee level worth comparing against any existing high-yield allocation in a portfolio.
The fund is part of Nomura's continuing effort to expand its US ETF shelf, giving investors a listed, liquid way to access its credit research inside an ETF wrapper.
