Simplify Investing with Fixed Income ETFs
Why Choose Fixed Income ETFs?
Whether you seek broad index, targeted subsector or active exposures, fixed income ETFs offer diversification across numerous bond issues with one trade - and provide access to areas where individual bonds might be too expensive.
Since their introduction in 2002, fixed income ETFs have grown to more than $1 trillion in global assets,1 and can help you:
- Lower costs: Gain fixed income exposure at an average expense ratio of 0.25%, versus mutual funds' 0.66%.2
- Improve liquidity: Access market opportunities with greater ease than with individual bonds.
- Increase transparency: View daily holdings to facilitate due diligence and risk management.
