☆ BlackRock says this is the 'last best opportunity' to buy these bonds
  + stars: | 2024-04-05 | by ( Jesse Pound | In Jesse-Pound | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
"We believe the recent back up in rates is probably the last best opportunity to extend duration," wrote Gargi Pal Chaudhuri, chief investment and portfolio strategist, Americas, at BlackRock. Generally speaking, the value of a bond goes up as interest rates go down, with longer-dated bonds seeing the biggest gains. While bond funds have been seeing inflows this year, there are still plenty of investors with excess cash in short-term accounts. Different funds that offer that type of exposure include the iShares 3-7 Year Treasury Bond ETF (IEI) , the SPDR Portfolio Intermediate Term Treasury ETF (SPTI) and the Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury ETF (VGIT) . Investors shouldn't go overboard with adding duration, because the long-term bonds on the market carry extra risk, Akullian said.

☆ Cut your tax bill and revamp income-generating investments with this move

Tax loss harvesting is a staple of year-end planning. Bonds are ripe for tax loss harvesting in the wake of the Federal Reserve's rate-hiking cycle. Consider that the longer-dated iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) has a year-to-date total return of about -7.3%, while the shorter-term iShares Core US Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG) has a total return of roughly 0.7% in 2023, according to Morningstar. "Tax loss harvesting is a silver lining for some of the pain they've been feeling the last couple of years." Bonds and the wash sale rule To benefit from tax loss harvesting, investors must avoid violating the wash sale rule .

☆ Investors are shifting their bond bets into this type of ETF
  + stars: | 2023-08-02 | by ( Jesse Pound | In Jesse-Pound | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Investors appear to be growing more comfortable with the path for interest rates and are shifting their fixed income bets accordingly. The list of the most popular bond funds by inflows in recent weeks is dominated by large passive funds. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) and Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury ETF (VGIT) have both been two of the 10 most popular ETFs of any type over the past month, according to FactSet's flow data. The iShares 3-7 year Treasury Bond ETF (IEI) and the Vanguard Intermediate-Term Bond ETF (BIV) have also seen sizable inflows recently. Broad bond funds will often have longer duration than short-term funds, even if there is no reference to time frame on the label.

☆ Buy these ETFs if you believe the Fed will pivot to a slower tightening pace
  + stars: | 2022-11-02 | by ( Jesse Pound | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
That means that market rates could fall, even if the Fed continues to hike for the next few months. Bond yields move opposite of price, so the ETFs should go up in value. There are several large ETFs on the market focused on Treasurys, including the iShares' 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF (IEF) and 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) . Similarly, Vanguard offers the Intermediate-Term Treasury ETF (VGIT) , which has a fee of just 0.04%. Corporate bonds carry more risk than Treasurys, but should rally if Treasury yields fall.
