SPDR Portfolio Short Term Corporate Bond ETF

SPSB tracks a market-value-weighted index of fixed-rate investment-grade nonconvertible US corporate bonds with 1-3 years remaining in maturity.

SPSB's corporate spreads are historically low, making it less attractive for new investments despite its strong past performance and low volatility. The ETF offers a 30-day SEC yield of 4.7% and an option-adjusted spread of 46 bps, which are not appealing. Higher yields can be obtained from AAA CLO funds like PAAA, which offer over 6% with similar or better volatility profiles.

SPSB: Not An Attractive Entry Point Anymore (Rating Downgrade)

The SPDR Portfolio Short Term Corporate Bond ETF is a low-risk investment option for investors seeking exposure to short-term corporate bonds. SPSB has a diverse portfolio with no position making up more than 0.57% of the fund, making it highly diversified. The fund has a strong performance history and a low expense ratio, making it an attractive option for investors looking for steady returns.

SPSB: A Good Money Market Alternative

SPSB invests in U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds with a maturity of 1-3 years as a conservative or low-risk bond fund. SPSB is a good alternative to similar maturity Treasuries by offering a higher yield and return potential. SPSB can complement a broader more diversified portfolio to both limit risk while delivering a solid monthly income component.

SPSB: Should You Ditch It For Treasury Bills?

SPSB is a short-term bond ETF that is the type that many investors are being lured into in 2023. That might work out, but there's some risk. I am very concerned that investors are not accounting for this risk. That's based on several comments I have received in response to articles I've written about this asset class.

SPSB: A Great Example Of How To Take A Lot Of Risk And Not Realize It

Not much is working in the bond market this year, but the upside of all that downside is that some attractive opportunities are emerging, particularly among lower duration fare. Importantly, that doesn't necessarily mean investors have to sacrifice income in the name of reducing interest rate sensitivity within their portfolios.
