About Fixed Income ETFs

A Fixed Income ETF is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to reflect the variations and profitability of fixed income indices.

The Fixed Income ETF offers various benefits to investors:

• Liquidity: As it is an exchange-traded product, it can be bought and sold as if it were a stock;
• Diversification: With just one transaction, the ETF provides investors with a diverse portfolio of financial products;
• Transparency: Through the daily disclosure of the index portfolio composition and stock price formation.
