iShares Short Treasury Bond ETF

SHV tracks a market-weighted index of debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury. Remaining maturity must be 1-12 months.

SHV still offers a return in the mid-4% range, making it a core part of my conservative, all-ETF portfolio for nearly 2 years. T-bills, particularly SHV, provide a stable income source and buffer against market volatility, outperforming long-term bond ETFs like TLT in recent years. My 2-ETF model, emphasizing T-bills, has consistently outperformed traditional stock-bond mixes, avoiding significant drawdowns while offering a "free look" at market developments.

SHV: 18 Months Later, Still A Strong Buy

The iShares Short Treasury Bond ETF (SHV) is a low-volatility ETF holding short-term Treasuries, ideal for parking idle cash with a low expense ratio of 0.15%. SHV offers interest income on Treasuries, closely tracking short-term interest rates, making it a better alternative to traditional savings accounts. I use SHV to earn interest on idle cash, keeping my checking accounts low to avoid losing potential interest income. That's pretty much the whole purpose of these ETFs.

SHV avoids duration risks, which has been the right idea so far. Inflation will stay high until we see major economic hits, where maturity walls may provide that. We don't think stagflation is the worry right now. The conditions for stagflation are not obvious at the moment. We haven't even given Phillips Curve dynamics a chance yet.

SHV: Stay Safe With Short Duration

The iShares Short Treasury Bond ETF (SHV) is a short duration, zero credit risk Treasury portfolio that allows investors to avoid duration and invest in USD.

It generally takes a few years for changes in Federal Reserve rates to fully impact bond fund dividends. Bond funds are still benefitting from prior rate hikes. Perhaps by enough to cancel out any future rate cuts. By my estimations, and under current Fed guidance, most bond funds would only start to see declining dividends in 2025, at the earliest.

Investors were net purchasers of fund assets (including those of conventional funds and ETFs) for the third week in a row, injecting a net $14.2 billion for the LSEG Lipper fund-flows week ended Wednesday, November 8. A weaker-than-expected October jobs report, a drop in oil prices and inflation expectations, and rising hopes that the Fed is done hiking interest rates pushed equities to their longest daily winning streak in two years and the 10-year Treasury yield dropped to its lowest level since September. The Dow locked in its longest winning streak since late July, rising for the sixth consecutive trading session, on Monday, November 6.
