Advantages of Bond-Linked Exchange-Traded Funds
If you are an investor looking to add bonds to your portfolio, bond-linked exchange-traded funds (ETFs) can offer you many advantages over purchasing individual bonds. ETFs are very similar to mutual funds, as they consider a collection or basket of individual bonds that have specific characteristics, such as being foreign bonds, government bonds, or multi-sector bonds. The fund can be actively managed or it can track an index, and management costs will be incurred.
Benefits of Bond-Linked Exchange-Traded Funds
First and foremost, you will save money, as bond-linked ETFs tend to have lower entry costs compared to individual bonds. Bond-linked ETFs can provide more stable characteristics in terms of risk, and you will be able to increase the diversification of your portfolio as you will be investing in a variety of bonds within each fund.
It is easier to enter and exit bond-linked ETFs, as you can trade them in the market just like stocks. Their liquidity and transparency can save you a lot of time and effort when reinvesting your capital.
Regardless of your goal, there is certainly a bond-linked ETF that meets your needs. The following list of bond-linked ETFs is organized by category, from short-term bond funds to leveraged high-yield bond funds and everything in between.
To research individual funds and determine if they are suitable for your portfolio and investment goals, take note of the stock symbol located in parentheses at the end of each fund’s name.
