Watching a bond ETF lose value can be concerning. After all, aren't bonds supposed to be every portfolio's safe harbor? Yet bond sell-offs can offer opportunities for those willing to take the long view. When bond prices decline, bond yields rise, meaning that the same market now offers more income for the money invested. Granted, that doesn't erase losses or guarantee future returns, but it can improve the starting point for an investor with a long time horizon. Let's cover three bond ETFs that each offer a unique way to approach that opportunity, and see how choosing between them starts with understanding what you want your bonds to do.
