Description: YEAR AB Ultra Short Income

The AB Ultra Short Income ETF (YEAR) is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund that seeks returns primarily through a mix of U.S. government and investment-grade corporate fixed-income securities. Under normal market conditions, the fund maintains a dollar-weighted average duration of less than one year, though it retains flexibility to hold securities of any maturity. Its holdings may also include mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, certificates of deposit, and commercial paper.

As an ultrashort bond ETF, the fund operates within the fixed-income ETF category, which allows investors to buy and sell shares throughout the trading day at market prices like individual stocks. Investment-grade corporate bonds-those rated BBB- or higher by major credit rating agencies-generally carry lower default risk than high-yield debt, though they offer typically lower yields in compensation.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Fed rate cuts lift investor inflows into ultrashort bond ETFs
