Accessing Pimco's Alpha Via ETF

TedTed
in Fund Discussions
FYI: After launching the actively managed Pimco Total Return ETF (BOND | B)—an ETF version of Pimco’s flagship Total Return Fund (PTTRX)—in February 2012, Pimco is looking to strike it big again in ETFs. BOND was the second-most-successful ETF launch in the 21-year history of ETFs, gathering its first $1 billion in less than three months.
Regards,
Ted

    I like the RAFI strategies (as a portion of my index ETF portfolios), but if I understand it correctly, the fixed income portion of the PXTIX strategy is dependent on Gross & Co's calls on interest rates, which, as far as I can tell, are either very right or very wrong. Any other opinions?

    PIMCO and Gross bashing not required

    No one has made money holding BOND for well over a year, which is not the case with PDI and PONDX, to compare different fruits.

    I'm looking to understand the tax implications of the new ETF (USFI). The tax impact of PXTIX would be punishing in a taxable account.

    Hmm. Double posted. Not sure how to delete.
