In times of uncertainty, bonds have been the go-to investment asset. With the unprecedented market sell-offs of 2021, rising interest rates, and rising inflation, it comes as no wonder that we have the launch of bond ETFs with a twist.

The Build Funds Trust Build Bond Innovation ETF is an actively managed fund that seeks capital appreciation by investing at least 90% of its total assets in investment-grade fixed-income investments. The remaining 10% invested in actively managed call options coupled to large-cap equities forming part of the SPY ETF.

The top three holdings of this bond fund are:

  • Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF – 45.04%
  • Vanguard Short-Term Treasury ETF – 31.12%
  • Vanguard Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond ETF – 13.02%

key data

BFIX ETF has accumulated $27.4 million in assets under management, with an expense ratio of 0.50%. The unique combination of investment-grade fixed income and equities results in a fund that lowers downside risk while maintaining upside potential due to its low correlation to the conventional equity market. Being actively managed leaves it agile enough to play with its holdings to reduce volatility by allocating high yield bonds.

№ 2. Rareview Inflation/Deflation ETF (FLTN)

Price: $24.99

Expense ratio: 0.92%

The is out; the ETF market is the gift horse that keeps giving. Investors now have an asset that hedges them against inflation and deflation and right when in high demand. The Rareview Inflation/Deflation ETF is an actively managed bond fund that invests in investment-grade and inflation-protected TIPs and treasury securities, hence hedging against both inflation and deflation. As a result, it is a fund that seeks an amplified rate of return to the prevailing inflation rates.

The only holdings of this unique fund are:

  • U.S. Dollar – 54.10%
  • Schwab US TIPS ETF – 45.90%

Expense ratio: 0.95%

The globe is up in arms regarding adverse climate change reversal, and efforts to go green while reclaiming the environment are intensifying. There are already several ETFs playing this field, but now investors have a chance to invest in a new player in the green investing space via the Strategy Shares Halt Climate Change ETF. This conscious fund seeks capital appreciation by exposing investors to global companies at the forefront of carbon emission reduction.

The top three holdings of this non-diversified ETF are:

  • Apple Inc. – 2.60%
  • Microsoft Corporation – 2.58%
  • U.S. Dollar – 2.50%

key data

The NZRO ETF has $1.2 million in assets under management, with an expense ratio of 0.95%. A pretty even weighting and concentration on global companies that derive at least 50% of their revenues from advancements towards a low carbon, combating climate change, and equities facilitating the transition from fossil fuels ensures this fund cuts across almost all existing ESG activities. Active management also provides that this fund is agile enough to develop technologies and emerging opportunities in the green technology space.

Final thoughts

With rising inflation and interest rates, the expectation is for large-cap equities to take a break from earning season, necessitating investors’ need to look elsewhere for income and returns. Among other strategies, it will include looking into new ETF launches to buy at relatively low cost but with the ability to take advantage of mega-market trends to provide portfolio value and growth.

2022 ETF market will exceed the 2021 launch of 480 new funds if the current launch pace holds, and the three new ETFs above are a great starting point to get a head start.
