The latest ETF Insider is out now! This issue focuses on fixed income ETFs. With the Federal Reserve entering its rate-cutting cycle with a surprisingly large 50 basis point in September, investors have been reassessing duration in their portfolios.

Issues around integrating fixed income and ESG have also been highlighted again, this time via a complex web of special purpose vehicles and bridging loans resulting in sustainable ETFs inadvertently funding energy giant Saudi Aramco.

New research by the Anthropocene Fixed Income Institute (AFII) highlights how this is happening, raising serious questions for ESG data, ratings and index providers.

The October 2024 issue of ETF Insider focuses on how this is allowed to happen, while diving into how investors are using fixed income ETFs and innovation in the space.

Also inside are the usual segments such as ETF of the Month (p.13), Fund Fights (p.15) and Expert Investors, where ETF Stream interviews fund selectors on the role of ETFs within their asset allocation (p.11).
