Vanguard Long-Term Bond Fund News
Read the latest news about Vanguard Long-Term Bond Fund, including recent articles, headlines, and updates.
Why BLV Is Outclassed By Long-Term Treasury Funds
Vanguard Long-Term Bond Index Fund ETF Shares tracks the Bloomberg U.S. Long Government/Credit Float Adjusted Index, offering diversified exposure to long-term, investment-grade U.S. bonds with 10+ years to maturity. BLV holds a roughly 50/50 mix of corporate and government bonds, plus minor municipal and cash holdings, as per Seeking Alpha. VGIT is preferred over BLV for fixed income positions due to its lower correlation with equities, enhancing portfolio stability.
BLV: Long-Term Treasuries May Stay Under Pressure For A While
The macro landscape for long-term bonds is tricky these days. Given the extreme political and fiscal uncertainty, I don't expect any meaningful appreciation of long-term bonds as long as the US is not in a recession. I'm neutral on the BLV for now, but there are still reasons to be optimistic in the longer term.
Undercovered ETFs You Should Know About: 12 Analysts' Picks From August-September 2024
The 'Undercovered' Dozen ETF edition highlights less covered ETFs, focusing on seven in-depth analyses and five brief mentions, from articles published between August 15th and September 16th. The Invesco Russell 1000 Dynamic Multifactor ETF (OMFL) has shown volatility but is stabilizing; patience is advised by The Sunday Investor as its high-quality selections might perform well. The SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF (SPYD) offers a 4.07% yield but lacks complexity according to MacroGirl; consider alternatives like PEY.
I Need More Fixed Income in My Portfolio. Here Are 3 Great Vanguard ETFs That Could Help Me Get It.
One popular rule of thumb states that by subtracting your age from 110, you can figure out your ideal stock and fixed-income allocations. I've generally focused on stocks, and don't have nearly enough fixed-income assets.
BLV: Time To Upgrade Vanguard's Long Duration Fund
BLV's performance has significantly declined over the past two years due to rising interest rates, leading to a 30% drawdown in share prices. The Federal Reserve's unprecedented rate hikes have caused bond yields to increase, impacting BLV's net asset value. Forecasted rate cuts by the Federal Reserve could potentially lead to an increase in the value of BLV's portfolio, earning the fund an upgrade.
Rate Cuts Could See Investment-Grade Debt Outperform
With high yields in the current bond market environment, it was easy to get lured into risky debt despite the credit risk. Now, investors could be shifting to safer debt, which could outperform once the Federal Reserve starts cutting interest rates.
BLV: A High-Quality Duration Play Worth Considering
The last three years have seen unusual bond market behavior, with stocks and bonds selling off and credit risk remaining low. The Vanguard Long-Term Bond Index Fund ETF Shares offer exposure to the long-term, high-credit-quality U.S. bond market. The BLV ETF has a low expense ratio, attractive yield, and diversified holdings, but is sensitive to interest rate changes and may not offer high capital appreciation.
2-Month Price Rally Puts Bonds in Play for 2024
Confidence in the bond markets is fueling a two-month rally in prices as the capital markets brace for rate cuts in 2024. Whether they happen at a furious pace or not is anyone's guess, but the expectation of cuts are providing enough spark for the rally.
BLV: Is It Time To Lock In High Yields?
Long-term interest rates have surged, causing losses for investors who followed other analysts' advice to buy bonds. My view is that long-term treasury yields may need to widen a bit more before they reach 'neutral', as implied by a term premium model. However, if investors wish to "lock-in" current yields, they should consider individual bonds or iShares iBonds instead of fixed duration funds like BLV.
Looking To Extend Duration? 3 Long-Term Vanguard ETFs to Consider
Over the past 12-24 months of rate hikes, short-term and ultra-short-term bond ETFs have served income-seeking investors well. But as interest rates continue to rise, exposures farther out on the curve have begun to offer attractive yields, too.
July Jobs: Mixed Report, Solid Wage Gains, Pressure Remains On BLV
The July employment report revealed a rise of 187,000 jobs, slightly below forecasts. The unemployment rate dipped to 3.5%. Wage gains were solid, posing potential problems for the goldilocks narrative on Wall Street, but a lower hours-worked figure kept rates from rising after the release. The Fed may still raise rates, but overall a soft landing is expected in the economy.
