☆ These niche funds provide investors with steady monthly payments in retirement
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-12 | by ( Michelle Fox | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Some investors looking for steady income in retirement are turning to managed payout funds. There are just a handful of these niche mutual funds, which pay monthly income to investors, Morningstar portfolio strategist Amy Arnott said. Schwab offers three such funds: Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Income Payout (SWLRX), Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Flexible Payout (SWKRX) and Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Target Payout (SWJRX). The Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Target Payout (SWJRX), on the other hand, aims to offer a 5% annual payout. Managed payout funds are not offered in many defined contribution plans, such as 401(k)s. In fact, a 2022 Cerulli survey of defined contribution plan consultants showed just 17% of the plans offered any managed payout funds.

☆ This shift in the Treasury market may set investors up for solid gains

Investor sentiment toward intermediate-term Treasury bonds may be changing. "So, they're looking to reposition the fixed-income portion of their portfolio to take advantage of where interest rates are likely to go next." It's a shift from last year when short-term bonds and money market funds saw large inflows. "Taking on some duration risk makes sense, but I wouldn't go too far out on the curve," he said. "The risk-return dynamics [of] getting too far out on the long end don't make a ton of sense to me."

▼ + stars: | 2023-10-11 | by ( Michelle Fox | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

With yields at around 5%, money market funds have been attracting investors in droves — yet not all funds are the same. Right now, prime funds yield an average 5.18%, while the average government fund's yield is 4.98%, per iMoneyNet. The weighted average maturity of retail prime money market funds is around 32 days, said Shelly Antoniewicz, deputy chief economist at the Investment Company Institute. Correction: A table in an earlier version of this report incorrectly described the listed funds as government money market funds. They are prime money market funds.

☆ Yields on inflation-protected bonds spiked after the Fed’s tough outlook. What’s next for investors
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-27 | by ( Darla Mercado | Cfp | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

The yield on the 5-year TIPS was 2.48% on Wednesday afternoon, while the rate on the 10-year TIPS was 2.29%. The par value of the bonds adjusts with inflation, based on the consumer price index for all urban consumers. Duration is a measure of a bond's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates, and as bond prices swooned in 2022, TIPS also suffered. "They're not always the perfect inflation hedge in the short term, and they are very sensitive to changes in market interest rates." Be aware that while there are no state or local taxes on interest, federal taxes apply.

☆ Schwab slashes fees on more fixed income ETFs

REUTERS/Lee Jae-Won/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsSept 25 (Reuters) - Schwab Asset Management on Monday said it cut fees on the Schwab High-Yield Bond ETF (SCYB) and the Schwab U.S. That brings the fees for those products to the same level as its other fixed income ETF products. State Street slashed fees on ten SPDR ETFs in August, including that high-yield bond product. Schwab doesn't want these low-cost ETFs to end up as loss leaders for the company's array of asset management products, Bostet said. Schwab has nearly $300 billion in ETF assets under management, out of more than $920 billion managed by Schwab Asset Management overall.

☆ The Federal Reserve is likely to keep rates high. Here's a strategy to generate income and reduce risk
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-03 | by ( Darla Mercado | Cfp | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Near-dated Treasurys have seen a sizeable boost since the Federal Reserve has embarked on its rate-hiking campaign, and a strategy that allows investors to generate income in the short term is taking off. To that effect, the firm this week launched a trio of Treasury bond laddering strategies: six-month, 12-month and 24-month offerings, managed by its Wasmer Schroeder Strategies team. "There are two bond investors: total return and income," Lafferty said. "For income investors, those higher yields are still at the shorter end, and these might be people who are pulling income out of their portfolio or retirees who need to spend their current income," he added. For investors who are thinking longer term, Schwab offers 5-year to 15-year ladders, as well as a 1-year to 5-year variety.

☆ What 'Shark Week' can teach investors about a money 'survival instinct'

Aaronp/bauer-griffin | Gc Images | Getty ImagesIt's "Shark Week," the annual television-programming event on Discovery that stars the ocean's apex predators. Specifically, investors have a tendency to get swept away by the fear or euphoria of the recent past. This is called "recency bias," and it's often accompanied by financial loss. "People need to understand that recency bias is normal, and it's hard-wired," said Charlie Fitzgerald III, an Orlando, Florida-based certified financial planner. Investors are most vulnerable to recency bias, he said, when on the precipice of a major life change such as retirement, when market gyrations may seem especially scary.

☆ Here's how making poor investment choices is like watching classic thriller 'Jaws'
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-21 | by ( Greg Iacurci | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Investors can get swept away by the fear or euphoria of the recent past — and it often costs them financially. "Recency bias" is the tendency to put too much emphasis on recent events, like a stock-market rout or the meteoric rise of bitcoin or a meme stock like GameStop, for example. Investor choices are guided by these short-term events — which may be counter to their best interests, as is often the case when selling stocks in a panic. "Would you want to go for a long ocean swim after watching 'Jaws'? Probably not, even though the actual risk of being attacked by a shark is infinitesimally small," wrote Omar Aguilar, CEO and chief investment officer at Schwab Asset Management.

The Pimco Multisector Bond Active ETF (PYLD) launched in June, giving investors a way to follow one of the biggest names in fixed income during the volatile bond market. As the fixed income ETF market matures, major asset managers are trying their hand at multisector bond funds. Recent launches include Capital Group's U.S. Multisector Income ETF (CGMS) and BlackRock's Flexible Income ETF (BINC) , which is co-managed by Rick Rieder , the firm's chief investment officer for global fixed income. For financial advisors or investors who want to make investment decisions themselves, there are more targeted bond funds available. "There's a pretty long runway for investors to increase their allocation to fixed income.

The S&P 500 defied recession fears and a U.S. banking crisis to notch a 15.9% gain in the first half. The S&P 500 (.SPX) has posted a positive return in eight consecutive Julys, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 index (.NDX) has climbed in July for 15 straight years. S&P 500 companies are expected to post an overall drop in earnings of 5.7% from the year-earlier period, according to Refinitiv IBES. The S&P 500 is trading at 19.1 times forward earnings estimates, well above its historic average P/E of 15.6 times, according to Refinitiv Datastream. "At some point, this move in interest rates has got to have some consequences for the markets," Matt Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak, said in a note on Friday.

There's a corner of the market gaining traction among ETF investors, according to The ETF Store's Nate Geraci. BofA Global Research's latest market data out late this week appears to support Geraci's thesis. Tierney of Schwab Asset Management contends retail investors don't own enough global stocks. "Rebalancing [to international stocks] to get some more exposure could make sense for a lot of investors," said the senior investment portfolio strategist. His firm's Schwab International Equity ETF , which tracks large- and mid-cap companies in over 20 developed global markets, is up 8.1% so far this year.

As fears of recession and bank failures fuel investor anxiety, one strategist says the best prospect for outperformance this year is staying long-term invested with a steadfast asset allocation plan. Tierney, director and senior investment portfolio strategist at Schwab Asset Management, told Bob Pisani on CNBC's "ETF Edge" on Monday. Tierney explained that of the 29 Schwab ETFs, 22 of them are seeing new inflows. "Staying long term invested with a good asset allocation plan generally gives the best prospects for long term outperformance. Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store, echoed Tierney's sentiment on avoiding getting caught up in near-term market turmoil.

It's the end of a wild first quarter for stock and bond investors, and ETF flows are reflecting that turmoil.

ETF flows year to date: $70 billion inflows Consisting of: Equity: $24 billion inflows Fixed Income: $43 billion inflows Other (currency, etc. ): $3 billion inflows Source: ETF Store While that is still inflow, it is far less than has been typical in recent years. Much of that uncertainty can be seen in a notable pickup in money going into money market funds, traditionally a safe haven asset.

International income One area where investors may look next for income is the international market, which has outperformed the U.S. in the opening weeks of 2023. Both Amplify and Schwab offer international versions of their yield funds — Amplify International Enhanced Dividend Income ETF (IDVO) and Schwab International Dividend Equity ETF (SCHY). Fixed income funds Another area that could pay off for investors is fixed income. "This is a once in many, many year opportunity to de-risk, rebalance, get back into fixed income," said Stephen Laipply, US Head of iShares Fixed Income ETFs. The fixed income ETF market is much smaller than the equity ETF market, and 2023 could see a continued growth in new categories.

Fuse | Corbis | Getty ImagesWhen it comes to investing, you may know less than you think — and that overconfidence may be costly. But "overconfidence bias" — the behavioral principle of overestimating one's financial acumen — can have damaging results. "It's very easy to have an impression of, 'Actually, I know a lot and haven't been proven wrong,'" Egan said. Similarly, overconfidence may lead rushed investors to accidentally buy the wrong stock, Egan said. However, investors inadvertently bought the wrong stock — the Tesla and SpaceX CEO was referring to the encrypted messaging app Signal, whereas Signal Advance is a small component manufacturer.

For ETF investors bearing the brunt of a down market in 2022, tax-loss harvesting might offer a silver-lining opportunity to redeem some of this year's setbacks. The strategy allows investors to sell securities at a loss in order to offset those losses against capital gains taxes on other securities. Tierney, senior portfolio strategist at Schwab Asset Management Solutions, told Bob Pisani on CNBC's "ETF Edge" on Monday. "You have this opportunity before the end of the year to sell that fund, realize the loss, [and] stay invested by buying an aggregate bond ETF," he said. Tierney said he is also perceiving levels of increased interest in the strategy among ETF investors, pointing to telltale signs among advisors and clients at Schwab.

Westend61The fear of loss is a powerful emotion for investors — and, if left unchecked, can cost them big bucks in the long term due to years of forfeiture of investment gains. watch nowFor investors, that evolutionary impulse plays out as "loss aversion bias." Investors have a bias toward avoiding financial loss. Prioritizing the avoidance of loss over earning a gain "is a major reason why so many investors underperform the market," Aguilar said. Meanwhile, 401(k) investors pulled money out of stock mutual funds during the same time period.
