A watershed moment in bond investing is occurring and the opportunity is profound. After last year — the most challenging bond market in decades — yields are back across most fixed income sectors. As a result, there are strong flows into fixed income assets, much of which are migrating into bond ETFs as investors adjust risk and recalibrate portfolios to higher yield levels. This new fixed income paradigm is accelerating bond ETF adoption — a trend that paradoxically gathered speed in 2022 despite the challenging bond market and was most recently evident in March 2023 when volatility was triggered by concerns about the banking sector.
We recently hosted a webinar where industry fixed income experts, ICE’s President of Fixed Income & Data Services Amanda Hindlian and BlackRock’s Global Co-Head of iShares Fixed Income ETFs, Steve Laipply, discussed the current state of bond ETFs and the growing importance of this segment.
