In an interview with Yahoo Finance, Bill Gross reflects on the performance of Pimco’s recently launched Total Return ETF (NYSEArca: TRXT), arguing that the fund is outperforming many of its passive rivals, according to a blog entry on Barron’s.

TRXT has risen 1 percent in the past few weeks, which compares with a 1.2 and 2.3 percent decline, respectively, for its passively managed rivals Vanguard Total Return Bond Market (NYSEArca: BND) and the iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (NYSEArca: LQD) in that same time span, said the Barron’s blog.
