SSgA Launches Corporate Bond ETF

|
State Street Global Advisors launched Thursday a new short-term corporate bond ETF, as it continues to slice and dice the fixed-income market by credit risk and bond duration.. The SPDR Barclays Capital Short Term Corporate Bond ETF (NYSEArca: SCPB) will track the Barclays Capital U.S. 1-3 Year Corporate Bond Index, which is a market-capitalization-weighted index that covers U.S. dollar-linked bonds with remaining maturity between 1 to 3 years and an outstanding face value of at least $250 million. At the end of November, the index comprised 572 issues; its portfolio is rebalanced monthly. SCPB's underlying index, which has an inception that dates backs to 2003, has posted year-to-date returns of some 14.5 percent. The fund will compete with the iShares Barclays 1-3 Year Credit Bond ETF (NYSEArca: CSJ), which has some $4.45 billion in assets. CSJ comes with an expense ratio of 20 basis points. SCPB’s annual expense ratio is pegged at 0.12 percent. You can read more about SCPB here.

Inside ETFs: A Reality Check
The Inside ETFs conference last month was a great opportunity for an ETF analyst like me to escape my ivory tower.Summing Sector SPDRS = SPY?
You’d think owning the nine sector SPDRs in proportion to their weightings in the S&P 500 is a way to recreate SPY. But you’d be wrong.
