Investors Adopt Barbell Strategy With Bond ETFs in 3Q
Investors adopted a barbell approach with fixed-income ETFs in the third quarter by piling into the short and long ends of the U.S. Treasury yield curve.
In a bid to navigate a combination of inflation and recession risks, fund selectors poured over $1.47 billion into the iShares $ Treasury Bond 0-1yr UCITS ETF (IB01) and a further $972 million into the Xtrackers US Treasuries Ultrashort Bond UCITS ETF (X0TD), according to data from ETFbook.
