High Yield Fund Leadership Team

Elected by the shareholders, the High Yield's board of directors comprises two types of representatives: High Yield inside directors who are chosen from within the company, and outside directors, selected externally and held independent of High. The board's role is to monitor High Yield's management team and ensure that shareholders' interests are well served. High Yield's inside directors are responsible for reviewing and approving budgets prepared by upper management to implement core corporate initiatives and projects. On the other hand, High Yield's outside directors are responsible for providing unbiased perspectives on the board's policies.

For example, some tools to gauge market sentiment could be utilized using contrarian indexes, High Yield's short interest history, or implied volatility extrapolated from High Yield options trading.

Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if High Yield Fund moves in either direction, the perfectly negatively correlated security will move in the opposite direction.
