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.

They are used for generating income, hedging against stock market volatility, or as part of a balanced asset allocation strategy.
