Investors Headed Towards These ETFs After a December to Forget
A December to forget for U.S. equities saw the major indexes reach bottom-feeding levels, but as investors headed for the exits in stocks, a number also sought the entrances for bond funds--particularly of the short-term Treasury variety. The whipsawing of volatility put investors through an economic wash cycle that wrung out the notion that simply staying invested would generate returns--this was not the case as the market fluctuations in the last few months of 2018 shifted investor mindsets from risk-on to risk-off. This shift was evident in the latest State Street Global Advisors (SSGA) report that showed a renewed interest in fixed income, particularly safe havens like government debt, but all in all, fixed-income ETFs benefitted across the board.

With Bond ETFs, Keep It Short Again In 2019
It may not have been easy money, but embracing short-term bonds and the corresponding exchange traded funds has easily been one of this year's most popular fixed-income trades. The Federal Reserve raised interest rates four times in 2018, and while there is speculation the benchmark U.S. interest is getting close to “normal” or “neutral,” there is also chatter that the Fed has a couple more rate hikes in store for 2019. In this rising rate environment, it's unsurprising that this year's most popular bond ETFs are all of the short-term variety.

Short-Term Bond ETFs Still Look Compelling
As the Federal Reserve raised interest rates four times this year, many fixed income investors looked to manage duration risk by embracing low duration bonds and the related exchange traded funds, including the iShares Short Treasury Bond ETF (SHV) and iShares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF (SHY) . Although the Fed could slow its pace of interest rate increases next year, managing duration risk should still be a priority for bond investors. “With a flat yield curve and relatively tight credit spreads today, you don’t need to take on much interest rate risk or rely on higher-risk assets like stocks to generate income potential,” said BlackRock in a recent note.

What an Inverted Yield Curve Means for Gold
Could Market Risks Bring Investors Back to Gold in 2019? The yield curve tracks the yields of Treasury securities maturing at different times. The narrowing gap between these yields is sometimes called a “flattening yield curve.” If shorter-term security yields become larger than longer-term security yields, that’s called a “yield curve inversion” (BND).

Lucky for you, there are plenty of good short-term investment options that can earn you decent returns.

4 Short-Term Bond ETFs for Attractive Yield-Generating Plays
Interest rates have steadily pushed higher in recent months, and the Federal Reserve has signaled its intent to raise interest rates at least two more times before the end of the year to head off an overheating economy with high inflation. While rising interest rates can drag on bond fund returns, they have less of an impact on bond funds with shorter durations. "From post-crisis through 2017, investors in fixed income have had to move out along the curve to generate some yield, extending some duration risk, or taking a dip in quality," Alfonzo Bruno, a research analyst for fixed-income strategies with Morningstar, told CNBC.
