How many credit pods play in HY

I know that a lot of the credit pods are IG focused just due to tight bid ask and liquidity, and understand the challenges of a HY pod. But does anyone know how common it is? Currently at a LO that trades relatively frequently and considering hopping to a L/S credit path but don’t want to get stuck in IG Lmk if I’m off base
