Northern Trust's FlexShares ETFs Step Over Five-Year Milestone

TDTF tracks inflation-hedging TIPS and seeks to provide targeted duration exposure through changing interest rate and economic cycles. Specifically, the fund includes a target average duration of approximately five years and maturity dates of at least three years but not more than 20 years. The ETF shows a 12-month yield of 1.14%  and a 5.15 year adjusted duration.

TDTT also provides exposure to inflation-hedging TIPs but targets averaged duration of about three years, with maturity dates of at least one year but not more than ten years. The fund has a 0.73% 12-month yield and a 3.05 year duration.

“Investors possess real goals,” Thomas added. “We have always started with those fundamental investment objectives because that’s what matters. We seek to provide targeted investment solutions that do not simply track indices, but deliver outcomes.”
