Hey pb4uski, you used the word bucket in your post. Are you using the Bucket Strategy? My wife is a very conservative investor so by showing her that we will have 3-4 years of living expenses in cash in Bucket #1, she will let me do what I want with Buckets 2 and 3.

HY bonds are Bucket #2.5.
Or set them off the the side in a Basket or a Barrel.
Or just put everything together in one big Bundle.
The main thing is to have a robust decummulation strategy, and if you do, it shouldn't matter how you chop up your portfolio.
