MYCJ: Worth The Active Premium?
State Street's new fixed maturity ETFs charge a slight fee premium for active management vs. passive competitors iShares iBonds and Invesco BulletShares. Looking at the 2030 series: MYCJ's portfolio has fewer bonds, comparable yields, and different sector allocations to iShares' IBDV and Invesco's BSCU, but overall differences are minimal. It's too early to tell of MYCJ's active management adds value, but I'd consider it worth paying 5bp more on this portion of a bond ladder to find out.
