Corporate vs. Municipal Bonds: Key Differences Every Investor Should Know

What's Going On With Treasury Rates?

We think the Fed has time to assess the impact of tariffs, and we expect it to wait to cut rates until the data show that tariffs are impacting the real economy. So far, there are no signs of recession in the hard data. The tariff pause offers the possibility to avoid worst-case economic scenarios before the damage is crystalized. We believe technical factors will continue to drive market dislocations in spreads and sectors, and that active managers can navigate this more effectively.

Why This Corporate Bond ETF Merits Attention Now

BBB-rated corporate bonds are fixtures in a variety of actively managed funds and exchange traded funds. Why? Because that form of debt offers attractive yields while not residing in speculative territory.

The Credit Opportunity In M&A

M&A was almost dormant in 2023. In the US, as a proportion of the market value of the benchmark equity indices, it fell to its lowest level in 20 years, according to McKinsey. Credit investors are not traditionally supposed to be fans of M&A, and it's true we are wary of leveraging M&A, where debt is loaded onto balance sheets to buy competitors. We are seeing a comeback for M&A that we think is likely to continue through 2024.

Corporate Bonds Beckon, but Prudence Is Necessary

Investment-grade corporate bonds and the related exchange traded funds, broadly speaking, were solid performers in 2023 and through January. Those funds are sporting just modest losses, indicating the asset class could be ready for better things in 2024.

This Could Be the Right Corporate Bond ETF for 2024

Amid expectations that the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates this year, perhaps multiple times, there's optimism that corporate bonds and the related exchange traded funds could be in for another round of solid annual performances. Encouraging as that may be, advisors and investors still need to exercise discretion in the corporate bond universe.
