FYI: We believe the recent uncertainty and flight to safety, along with a surge in interest rates, has fueled inflows into fixed-income assets. High-grade corporate bonds, TIPS, municipals and even high-yield bonds all touted recent inflows, despite the proposed end of quantitative easing in the U.S. and increasing interest rates.
Today, with continued uncertainty upping market volatility measures, plus the potential for two federal interest rate hikes, we believe investors should understand exactly how best to approach fixed-income investing and why fixed-income ETFs continue to be one of the fastest-growing vehicles with which to do so.
