BOND ETFs
Where bonds are typically opaque and harder to trade, bond ETFs have transformed how all investors access fixed income.
Recently surpassing a $1 trillion milestone in global assets, bond ETFs have become the new normal since their inception in 2002.1
We believe assets will double to $2 trillion within the next five years as investors continue to adopt them and find new uses for them.
