Golden Age for Fixed Income at BlackRock

Active management in bond portfolios can lead to higher risk-adjusted returns compared to equity funds. BlackRock Flexible Income ETF offers diversification, high yield, and low sensitivity to interest rates.

Interest in active fixed income products has swelled in 2024, as credit spreads narrow and the Federal Reserve holds fast to a “will they, won't they” game of trimming interest rates. Active fixed income ETFs have seen north of $11 billion in net inflows this year and $27 billion globally.

The market is pricing out Fed rate cuts as data has been stronger than expected, leading to a violent re-pricing in rates. Bond funds, especially active ones like BINC, are attractive in the current environment due to the significant move in rates.

BINC is a relatively new bond ETF from BlackRock. It offers investors diversified bond exposure, an average 5.3% yield, and has outperformed since inception. The fund's active investment strategy and focus on diversified exposure to bond sub-asset classes contribute to its outperformance.

BlackRock Flexible Income ETF is a newly launched active bond ETF managed by star manager Rick Rieder. BINC aims to provide exposure to hard-to-access fixed income sectors and has outperformed peers by betting on sectors like CLOs. Although BINC has outperformed in its short history, given its reliance on a star manager, I am hesitant to recommend the fund without more performance data to analyze.
