Conversely, bond ETFs that saw the largest outflows in September were SPDR Barclays Capital 1-3 Month T-Bill (NYSEArca: BIL), iShares Barclays Short Treasury Bond (NYSEArca: SHV), WisdomTree Asia Local Debt ETF (NYSEArca: ALD) and WisdomTree Emerging Markets Local Debt (NYSEArca: ELD).
Taxable-bond ETFs saw net inflows of $27.9 billion year to date through September, according to Morningstar, and are the best-selling category in 2011 among the major asset classes.
However, in mutual funds, the taxable-bond category reversed to huge outflows in the latest week’s data as Treasury yields rise. Taxable-bond outflows in mutual funds totaled $6.2 billion for the week ended Oct. 5, according to the Investment Company Institute.
