After selling off in late 2014, leveraged loans have bounced back in early 2015. The Index is up 3.06% through April, its best gain for the first four months of a year since 2012, when it was up 4.53%. Of the five asset classes tracked by LCD, leveraged loans in 2015 trail only high yield bonds, and trailed only HY and equities (slightly) in April. – Steve Miller
