14 Best Performing Bond ETFs |
Seeking Alpha - Dec. 16, 2011 - By Richard Shaw
There are 14 bond ETFs that have a trailing yield of 4% or more, and that have positive 3-year and 1-year price returns, and no more than a 1% negative 1-month price return. There are 11 if the 1-month price return criterion is set to positive as well.
They include high yield (junk) bond funds, municipal bond funds, an emerging markets bond fund, long-term U.S. investment grade bond funds, and inflation protected bond funds (both US domestic and world).
The lowest 1-year total return was just under 8% and the highest 1-year total return was nearly 30%.
Note that no other criteria were applied for this list, such as trading volume, bid-ask spreads, expense ratios, asset size, credit quality, number of holdings, currency exposure, duration, and other risk factors relating to potential interest rate rises. You will want to consider such things.
