BulletShares fixed-income ETFs are designed to mature in their specified target years, which will help investors hone in on specific target maturities to build a laddered portfolio or take greater control over investment time horizons. In comparison, most other fixed-income ETFs include bond holdings with a wide range of maturity dates.
“Advisors are using BulletShares to provide the benefits of liquidity and transparency, and we are committed to growing this suite,” said William Belden, head of product development for Guggenheim Investments. “We’ve found that there is a strong interest in additional maturity dates to use in portfolio construction so we’re pleased to expand the line-up to meet their needs.”
