New bond and international ETFs
A bunch of new bond ETFs and one international ETF are out or coming out soon.
Vanguard will be introducing four low-cost bond ETFs that pair up with the following bond funds:
- Total Bond Market Index Fund
- Short-Term Bond Index Fund
- Intermediate-Term Bond Index Fund
- Long-Term Bond Index Fund
The expense ratio will be .11% on each of them.
Barclays will be coming out with a high yield ETF. The expense ratio is still TBD.
Lastly, State Street has launched its SPDR ® MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex-US ETF (AMEX: CWI). This rounds out State Streets (whoops, now SPDRs) offerings nicely. It has an expense ratio of .35%.
