ETF Strategies to Smooth Out a Bumpy Road
As ETF investors carefully look over the current market environment, many are considering equity and fixed-income strategies that could help diversify and enhance an investment portfolio in a more trying environment. On the recent webcast, Macro Strategies: Navigating Choppy Market Waters, Kevin Flanagan, Senior Fixed Income Strategist for WisdomTree, argued that supportive elements that previously bolstered the economy and U.S. markets are beginning to fade so investors should hold back expectations. While we continue to see the economy improve, with strong GDP, stable inflation and robust employment with rising wages, the economy is moving toward the later stages of the traditional business cycle and investors should take steps to adapt to the changes.

Stock, Bond ETF Strategies to Fight Rising Rates
Investors should be careful when navigating the current environment and consider some ETF investment vehicles that are designed to outperform when interest rates rise.

For instance, the government recently revealed the U.S. economy expanded at a 4.1% rate, its best quarterly performance since 2014. Flanagan warned that the U.S. budget deficit has widened and the Treasury Department has been increasing supply of U.S. Treasuries - Treasury supply for the fiscal year 2018 is expected to be in the $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion range, compared to the $519 billion issued for the fiscal year 2017.

Not every income investment has to be a familiar name, however. In fact, sometimes the very best income investments end up being the unfamiliar, almost goofy stocks many investors may have never even heard of.
