SCHZ: Shorter Duration Bets In Less Ambiguous Territory

Schwab U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (SCHZ) offers intermediate-term exposure, weighted to US government debt with AA credit quality and 5.8-year duration. Current macro conditions—an apparent Fed rate hold, controlled inflation, and rising growth risks—favor shorter duration fixed income over SCHZ's longer maturity profile. Yield curve dynamics and potential for steepening make SCHZ's 8-year maturity ambiguous, with shorter maturities (3-4 years) offering more targeted downside YTM exposure.

SCHZ: A Modest Bet On Lower Rates Is Reasonable

Schwab U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF offers low fees, broad investment-grade exposure, and intermediate duration, making it a solid long-term diversifier.

SCHZ: Tariffs More Moderate Than Expected

There is dissent in the FOMC, with traditionally cautious members around inflation indicating that it's time to cut.

We think CPI figures get better from here on out as well as we continue to benefit from lower energy prices, not riled up by Middle East tensions.
