The largest bond ETFs are almost exclusively index funds focusing on the broader bond market, or on specific bond sub-asset classes. These ETFs are reasonable investments, but investors can do much better than reasonable. Lots of ETFs offer higher yields, returns, and risk-adjusted returns than these larger ETFs, with extra advantages to boot.

CARY, CLOZ, and CEFS are three of the strongest income ETFs in the market right now. CARY's diversified, high-quality portfolio is perfect for more risk-averse investors. It has a solid 6.2% yield, and outstanding risk-returns. CEFS is much more aggressive, offering a good 7.8% yield, and strong returns. It is riskier than most.

Federal Reserve cuts will lead to lower dividend yields on ultra short-term and variable rate investments. Most of these trade with healthy spreads to comparable fixed-rate bonds. Breakevens vary though, with some variable rate investments likely to offer above-average yields for years to come, others not so much.

Panagram's Bbb-B Clo ETF offers a high yield through BBB and BB-rated debt, aiming for capital preservation and high current income with a 9% dividend yield. CLOZ's net investment income comfortably covers distributions by itself, without relying on net realized gains. There is no risk of a dividend cut at the moment. The main risk is borrower defaults, influenced by interest rates; however, historical default rates for CLOs have been low, even during financial crises.

CLOs have several tranches. Equity tranches are the riskiest ones, but also have the highest yields, and strongest potential returns. Debt tranches are safer and lower-yielding, some significantly so, some moderately so.

Equities are down, due to bearish sentiment, mediocre economic news, and the unwinding of the Japanese carry trade. High-yield bonds and senior loans are seeing some pain too, albeit much reduced. CLO ETFs keep chugging along, without significant losses or underperformance.

CLO ETF performance has been outstanding these past few years. Most have seen below-average drawdowns, significant dividend growth, and massive outperformance with above-average yields. Yields range from 6.4% to 8.9%, and that is without leverage or excessive credit risk.

Panagram BBB-B CLO ETF invests in below investment grade CLOs with a focus on BBB-B ratings for high-income and capital preservation.

Some income ETFs offer high yields and strong value propositions, but fly under the radar of most investors. I've identified three such ETFs: RISR, HYGH and CLOZ. These offer yields in the 7% - 9% range, have outperformed since inception, and get little coverage at Seeking Alpha.

BIZD, CEFS, and CLOZ are three income ETFs offering investors strong, above-average yields, in the 8.4%-10.5% range. BIZD has the highest yield but is quite risky. CLOZ has the lowest yield, with low realized volatility, but some liquidity risks. CEFS is somewhere in between. All are strong, albeit somewhat risky, choices.

JAAA and JBBB are both actively-managed ETFs investing in senior loan CLO tranches. JBBB focuses on BBB-rated tranches, CLOZ an even mix of BBB and BB. Both funds are broadly similar, with strong yields and performance track-records, and low volatility. There are some important differences between these, however.

CLO ETFs offer investors strong yields with little credit or interest rate risk. These are variable rate ETFs, and should see declining dividends as the Fed cuts rates. I still think they are buys, for three key reasons.

CLO debt ETFs offer investors strong yields without significant credit or rate risk. CLOZ focuses on CLO tranches rated BBB-BB, yielding significantly more than most bond ETFs, somewhat higher than its CLO peers. The fund has performed exceedingly well since its inception, and I have high hopes for the future.

Panagram Bbb-B Clo ETF has had strong performance since its inception, but its future success depends on credit risk. The fund primarily invests in BBB and BB-rated Collateralized Loan Obligation tranches, offering current income and capital preservation. The CLOZ ETF stands out from similar funds due to its focus on lower-rated tranches, offering higher yields but also higher risk.
