BondBloxx Bloomberg Two Year Target Duration US Treasury ETF

XTWO

Capitalización de mercado USD 270 M

XTWO is a well-constructed, low-cost ETF tracking 2-year US Treasuries, but its yield is less attractive than alternatives. Despite taking more interest rate risk with XTWO, investors are not compensated with higher yield compared to floating rate Treasury ETFs like USFR. Current market conditions make floating rate Treasury ETFs more appealing, offering higher yields with lower risk than XTWO.
