Our read on QSIG
BMost short-term corporate bond funds buy whoever borrowed the most. QSIG screens issuers on fundamentals first, then tilts toward the better-paying bonds, and mails the income out monthly.
The Fund seeks current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation.
Why people hold it
- The index does homework: it screens issuers on cash flow, profitability and leverage, then tilts toward those offering more income. Weighting is not a borrowing-size popularity contest.wisdomtree.comsec.gov
- Short-dated investment-grade paper spread across roughly 500 bonds, so no single borrower steers the portfolio. Income is paid monthly.
- 0.18% for an active-style screen wrapped in an index, close to what the typical investment-grade corporate bond ETF charges. Running since 2016, so the rules have real mileage.
Worth knowing
- Thinly traded with modest assets next to the category heavyweights, which usually shows up as wider bid-ask spreads at the moment of trading.
- Plain cap-weighted rivals like VCIT, IGSB and SPIB charge a fraction of QSIG's 0.18%. The fundamental screen is what the extra fee buys.
- Short maturities cut interest-rate sensitivity in both directions: less pain when yields rise, less lift when they fall. Corporate credit risk stays on the table.wisdomtree.com
