Investor appetite for fixed income continues to expand, as evidenced by the latest weekly ETF inflows report from TD Securities. For the week ending August 14, 2026, U.S.-listed ETFs gathered $41.0 billion in total weekly net inflows, which included $13.2 billion into fixed income funds.

Market gauges of inflation-adjusted borrowing costs have shot to their highest in more than a decade across major economies as AI companies and governments ramp up bond sales, raising ​risks for stock markets and the world economy.

Convertible bonds sit in an odd corner of capital markets: corporate debt with an embedded equity option, paying coupon income while carrying upside tied to the issuer's stock.

Corporate America is tapping the convertible bond market at a record pace as companies linked to artificial intelligence drive a surge in demand for debt that often ​draws extra investor interest in hot markets because it can convert into equity.

Investors may be better off looking outside the world's core bond markets right now, Brij Khurana writes in a guest commentary.

State Street® SPDR® Bloomberg Convertible Securities ETF offers exposure in hybrid assets labelled as bonds, but with strong correlation to equities. CWB's portfolio has low company risk and is dominated by unrated convertible securities and short maturities. Performance and risk metrics position CWB as more compelling than competitors, though yields are variable and currently unattractive for income-focused investors.

CWB has some reflexive stocks and also more traditional exposures that are more macro exposed, meaning an ambiguous effect of the rate cuts motivated by labour market concerns. However, ambiguity does favour the embedded option a bit in convertible bonds. Our thinking is that large cap tech has more to benefit from iffy, but still alright, macro outlook together with a rate cut than the stocks associated to CWB convertibles.

The SPDR Bloomberg Barclays Convertible Securities ETF holds a portfolio of 300 convertible securities, mostly without credit rating. CWB has a stronger correlation with stocks than with bonds and should be handled like a low-volatility equity ETF. CWB is the oldest and best-performing ETF among its peers.

Convertible securities blend traits of bonds and stocks. They are worth considering given the way they balance growth with income. CWB's sector allocation highlights its approach of mixing income with growth.
