FYI: With the U.S. equity markets correcting, it should be little surprise that investors pulled $22 billion out of related ETFs in the week ended Feb. 8, while adding $1.6 billion to U.S. fixed-income ETFs, according to ETF.com.
But due to the impact of rising interest rates, some of the more popular fixed-income ETFs generated negative total returns to start 2018.
