BSV offers diversified exposure to short-term investment-grade bonds, with low duration risk and a current yield to maturity of 4.0%. Performance is highly sensitive to yield curve shifts, especially in the 1–5 year segment; recent butterfly spreads are neutral, limiting short-term upside. Credit spreads for BBB bonds are at historic lows, and with the S&P 500 near highs, further credit compression is unlikely, capping appreciation potential.
