Bonds back on? ETF strategies for the balance-seeking investor
Publishing timestamp: 2023-03-01 18:09:34
Summary
Investors are turning to single Treasury bond ETFs as yields on 2-year Treasurys approach 5%, as they seek balance in an uncertain inflationary environment. Dave Nadig, financial futurist at VettaFi, said that bonds are becoming a significant competitor to stocks. Alex Morris, president and chief investment officer at F/m Investments, said that a healthier dose of Treasurys makes sense in this high-yield environment. Short maturity Treasury ETFs such as iShares Short Treasury Bond ETF, SPDR Portfolio Short Term Treasury ETF, and VettaFi's Vanguard Short-Term Treasury ETF are seeing larger inflows this year. Nadig pointed out that it's a rare opportunity and that the availability of rates could sunset as this type of strategy gains steam.
