Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

NBFCCNeuberger Berman Flexible Credit Income ETF

XAGGAEaton Vance Strategic Income Opportunities ETF

In short

NBFC A go-anywhere credit fund. Neuberger Berman's bond team can roam domestic, foreign and emerging-market credit rather than track one index, keeping at least 80% of assets in credit instruments and paying income monthly.

XAGG No data

Stated mandate

NBFC The Fund’s primary aim is high current income, with long-term capital appreciation as a secondary aim.

XAGG No data

Why people hold it

  • NBFC Wide mandate by design: at least 80% of net assets in credit instruments, including derivatives and credit-focused funds, across domestic, foreign and emerging markets.
  • Actively managed with no index to hug, and it spreads its bets across roughly 600 positions, so no single issuer carries the fund.
  • Income is the stated first priority, with long-term capital appreciation second. Distributions are paid monthly.

XAGG No data

Worth knowing

  • NBFC At 1.08%, the fee sits well above the bond-fund median of 0.40%, and index peers like AGZ (0.15%) charge a fraction. Active credit selection is what the premium buys.
  • Thinly traded and modest in size, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than the category's household names.
  • Launched in 2024, so its record does not yet span a full credit cycle, and derivatives use adds moving parts beyond plain bond ownership.
