Larry Berman CFA, CMT, CTABMO 2015 Corporate Bond MaturityZXB.TOCOMMENTFeb 02, 2015

Bond fund that gives the approximate return of a 1 year bond. It is going down because of the coupon payout and you are getting some of your capital back. The total return is positive over the last year.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Oct 26/12, Up 1.53%) You are trying to avoid having bonds which were bought at a premium so when they mature you get a loss.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick September 17/12. Up 1.59%.) Likes this. To avoid the issue of premium priced bonds, as they roll into the next year, they start rolling out of those bonds and going into T-bills.

TOP PICK

BMO 2015 Corporate Bond Target Maturity ETF. Another category of bonds. It is not a ladder. Like a bond there is a fixed maturity date.

TOP PICK

Basically this has a bunch of bonds that are essentially maturing in 2015, which they roll into T-bills. It’s almost like having the actual bond but you have a little bit more diversification.

COMMENT
2015 Corporate Bond Maturity ETF. Made to counter the criticism of any fund that most bond funds never mature. Gives the investor more certainty.
