The Federal Reserve's monetary policy set the tone for the fixed income world in 2023 – right down to which exchange traded funds investors picked to take advantage of higher interest rates.
Bond yields have an inverse relationship to their prices, so that when prices decline, yields rise and vice versa.
The Vanguard Long-Term Treasury ETF (VGLT) was another favorite of investors, with about $7.3 billion in net flows in 2023.

Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG) were ETFs with the second and third highest net flows, per Morningstar.
