ETFs

Summary:

Australian and global bond ETFs showed modest weekly price changes with mixed short- and long-term returns. High-yield and hybrid ETFs, such as VanEck Australian Subordinated Debt (SUBD, 6.08% yield) and BetaShares Active Australian Hybrids (HBRD, 6.19% yield), delivered strong running yields and 0.5–0.7% monthly gains.  

Investment-grade corporate and global bond ETFs, including iShares Core Global Corporate (IHCB, 5.30% yield) and Betashares Inflation-Protected US Treasury (UTIP, 2.95% yield), posted moderate returns. Cash and short-duration ETFs, like iShares Core Cash (BILL) and BetaShares High Interest Cash (AAA), offered stable yields around 4.2–4.3% with minor weekly losses.   

Government-focused ETFs generally experienced slight declines, with Vanguard Australian Government Bond (VGB) and Russell Australian Government Bond (RGB) down 0.21–0.41% over a month, reflecting lower short-term returns.  

Market caps vary widely from smaller funds like Janus Henderson Sustainable Credit (2.57M) to large ETFs such as BetaShares Australian High Interest Cash (4,252M). Overall, hybrid and high-yield ETFs remain attractive for income, while government and cash ETFs prioritise stability, showing minimal monthly gains or slight declines.
