Bond ETFs

Bond ETFs provide exposure to a diversified portfolio of bonds while trading on stock exchanges like individual stocks. These funds track various bond indexes, offering access to different segments of the fixed-income market. Bond ETFs allow for greater liquidity and transparency compared to individual bonds and typically have lower costs than actively managed bond mutual funds. They are used for generating income, hedging against stock market volatility, or as part of a balanced asset allocation strategy.
