The role of fixed Income ETFs in a new market regime
Natacha Blackman – iShares Fixed Income Product Strategist
As we brace for a new regime of greater macro-led market volatility, the adoption of fixed income ETFs continues to grow with investors using them for access, liquidity and managing risks in their bond portfolios. The liquidity benefits of fixed income ETFs, particularly during volatile and illiquid markets, have been felt by investors during financial turmoil. ETFs’ trading volumes have surged as underlying bond markets have seen liquidity deteriorate. ETF trading surged in 2022 despite underlying liquidity challenge chart shown. Even with new bond supply picking up, higher market volatility combined with bouts of illiquidity are likely to be permanent features of this new macro regime, increasing the importance of flexibility in investor portfolios. That’s why at iShares, we believe fixed income ETFs will play an even greater role in the way investors access fixed income markets in the future.

Risk Warnings
Capital at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current or future results and should not be the sole factor of consideration when selecting a product or strategy. Changes in the rates of exchange between currencies may cause the value of investments to diminish or increase. Fluctuation may be particularly marked in the case of a higher volatility fund and the value of an investment may fall suddenly and substantially. Levels and basis of taxation may change from time to time.
