ETFs tracking US bonds indices with short maturities (below 3 years), recorded significant losses on Friday, August 28th. Most of times, the dedicated segment on TrackInsight shows low levels of volatility. It had constantly grown in 2020, especially in March at the worst of the crisis, to reach +3,19% of cumulated performance on the 19th of August. Since, returns have collapsed by 1,41% and now stand at 1,71% following last week’s Fed meeting at Jackson Hole where it was decided to let the inflation run, sending yields higher. Flows slightly decreased during last months to reach $5,3 Bn after the massive inflows recorded in March. This segment of 32 ETFs represents $ 40,2 Bn of assets under management.
