28 October – 1 November 2024

Summary: No net fund flow to/from bond/cash ETF sector; zero ETFs issue additional units, zero ETFs repurchase units; unit prices generally lower; TBIL again largest percentage price rise; AGVT largest percentage price fall.

Investor interest in the Australian bond and cash ETF sector remained steady for a third consecutive week as none of the ETFs in the sector experienced net inflows or net outflows. However, the sector’s market capitalisation still decreased by 0.5% as prices generally declined.

In terms of unit price changes, the VanEck 1-3 Month US Treasury Bond ETF (TBIL) again had the largest price increase over the week (+0.43%). The BetaShares Australian Government Bond ETF (AGVT) had the largest price fall (-1.09%) over the same period.
