PURSUE MORE INCOME

What can bond ETFs do for you?

DIFFERENT WAYS TO POTENTIALLY BOOST YIELDS

In today's market, yield is harder and harder to find. High yield bond ETFs are a popular choice, but there are other ways to seek higher yield with ETFs that you may not have considered.

Bond ETFs come in a variety of types and can help you access yield opportunities from around the world of investments.

Do you want to pursue yield that may exceed traditional stocks and bonds? Consider high yield bonds issued from U.S. companies, or emerging market bonds backed by the governments of developing countries, or even preferred stocks that can pay competitive dividends.

Bond ETFs make investing in these potentially higher yielding asset classes as easy as trading in stocks.
