Investors with cash on the sidelines may want to start moving some of that money into bonds, according to a new report from BlackRock. The bond market has seen some volatility amid the uncertainty around interest rates and the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. Bond yields move inversely to prices. US10Y YTD mountain 10-year Treasury yields Yields are at levels not seen in 20 years, he pointed out. Aggregate Bond ETF year to date The iShares Core Total USD Bond Market ETF (IUSB) is also a passively managed, broad bond market fund which adds exposure to potentially higher-yielding names.

A growing number of investors appear to be trying to squeeze additional cash from long-term bonds with the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond BuyWrite Strategy ETF (TLTW) . "Popular Treasury ETFs, such as [iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF ] and [ iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF ], could lose another 4-8% if yields spike by the end of September," Woodard said. The TLTW presents a strategy to thread the needle and offset declines in bond prices with income from selling call options. The fund works by buying the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) and then selling call options with strike prices roughly 2% above the market price of the underlying fund. The TLTW also comes with a higher cost than vanilla Treasury funds.

The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) raked in nearly $2 billion of inflows over the past week, according to FactSet. It has been the most popular fixed income ETF this year, with almost $14 billion in net flows. No other bond ETF has brought in more than $10 billion. With inflation declining and the Fed slowing its pace of hikes, investors do appear to be shifting into longer-dated bonds and away from inflation trades, said Steve Laipply, global co-head of bond ETFs at BlackRock. Short-term ETFs appeared to be more popular with investors last year when the Fed was hiking interest rates aggressively.

BlackRock launched the AAA CLO ETF (CLOA) less than a month ago, and the product already has about $30 million in assets under management. Panagram Structured Asset Management is exploring riskier versions in the same ETF sector, launching the BBB-B CLO ETF (CLOZ) and surpassing the $20 million mark in less than two weeks. Fixed income funds boom The growth of these funds comes after a boom in fixed income ETFs in 2022, as rising interest rates and high inflation sent investors hunting for ways to generate additional yield. Invesco and VanEck also launched CLO ETFs last year, presenting additional investment options. However, there are diversification benefits to having floating rate ETFs for investors, especially in the U.S. where most fixed income products have a fixed rather than a floating rate, Kerschner said.
And for investors who hold both stocks and bonds, that's not how a mixed portfolio is supposed to work. Because bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions, the Fed's moves have been eroding the value of bond portfolios. Bond investors: 'You have a lot more options'It's impossible to know how the economy or monetary policy will shake out in the short term. Should inflation continue to run hot, the Fed could keep hiking interest rates, in turn pushing down bond prices. According to many experts, who believe much of that carnage is behind us, now may represent a compelling opportunity for bond investors, says Laipply.
