PIMCO Active Bond ETF offers active, diversified fixed-income exposure with a focus on risk control and long-term income and capital appreciation. Current market conditions favor agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), as their premium over investment-grade corporates is historically attractive, supporting an overweight in MBS.

The fund primarily invests in investment-grade MBS bonds and Treasuries, with a portfolio duration of 6.5 years, placing it in the intermediate duration category. While BOND's annualized volatility of 7.4% is higher than the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index's 5%, its superior total return performance suggests that the active management's risk-taking has been justified.

BOND ETF's commentary suggests it remains committed to intermediate term treasuries, CLOs, and RMBS. Moreover, recent enterprise-wide commentary suggests that PIMCO is seeking EU exposure. We support intermediate-to-long-term U.S. treasury and CLO exposure. However, we highlight risks in RMBS and dislike the vehicle's disregard of investment grade corporate credit.
