FYI: Fixed-income ETFs saw healthy inflows of $15.3 billion for the quarter in spite of a tough environment.
The most followed benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, had a loss of -1.48% for the quarter. The loss can be attributed to credit spreads widening and the rise in interest rates, coupled with market uncertainty about tariffs and tech regulations.
Yet a closer look at the flows of bond ETFs helps us identify key trends that developed during the quarter and understand how advisors used different ETF strategies to navigate this challenging time.
