Bond ETFs invest in fixed income securities like government bonds, corporate bonds, and municipal bonds. They provide regular income through interest payments and can help diversify a stock-heavy portfolio.
Bond ETFs are generally less volatile than equity ETFs but still carry risks including interest rate risk, credit risk, and inflation risk. Government bond ETFs are typically safer than corporate or high-yield bond ETFs.
Bond ETFs generate returns through interest payments (yield) and price changes. When interest rates rise, bond prices typically fall and vice versa. The total return combines both yield and price movements.
