Choose ETFs for Your Bond Core

Yields are back. And so is bond market volatility. The unique attributes of ETFs — liquidity, transparency, and lower cost — can help.

Why Bond ETFs?

Diversification and Liquidity

ETFs offer exposure to multiple bonds in a single trade. And their robust liquidity means you can trade them faster and more cost-efficiently than individual bonds.

Broad Core Exposure

Bond ETFs can cover a range of exposures, whether broad or specific. So it’s easy to tailor portfolios to match your market views and goals.

Lower Costs

ETF management fees are significantly lower than those of managed funds, across both indexed and active strategies¹. So you keep more of your returns.

Important Risk Disclosures

Bonds generally present less short-term risk and volatility than stocks, but contain interest rate risk (as interest rates raise, bond prices usually fall); issuer default risk; issuer credit risk; liquidity risk; and inflation risk. These effects are usually pronounced for longer-term securities. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to a substantial gain or loss.

The value of the debt securities may increase or decrease as a result of the following: market fluctuations, increases in interest rates, inability of issuers to repay principal and interest or illiquidity in the debt securities markets; the risk of low rates of return due to reinvestment of securities during periods of falling interest rates or repayment by issuers with higher coupon or interest rates; and/or the risk of low income due to falling interest rates. To the extent that interest rates rise, certain underlying obligations may be paid off substantially slower than originally anticipated and the value of those securities may fall sharply. This may result in a reduction in income from debt securities income.

Frequent trading of ETFs could significantly increase commissions and other costs such that they may offset any savings from low fees or costs.

There can be no assurance that a liquid market will be maintained for ETF shares.
