Lipper: A Shift Toward Short Maturities And Safe-Haven Plays In October

TedTed
in The Bullpen
FYI: In the first several weeks of October income-seeking fund investors continued to shorten the maturity of the fixed income funds they were buying. Through the Lipper fund-flows week ended October 24, 2018, investors redeemed a net $6.4 billion from taxable fixed income funds and ETFs.

However, ultra-short- to intermediate-term bond funds have attracted a net $4.6 billion for the month of October thus far. With interest rates on the rise and more rate increases promised by the Federal Reserve, fixed income investors are choking up on the bat and lightening up on their go-to fund classification—Core Bond Funds.

Ted
