Franklin Short Duration U.S. Government ETF

FTSD is an actively-managed ETF that aims for a targeted duration of less than three years by investing in short-term debt securities issued or guaranteed by the US-government. The fund manager may also invest in certain interest rate-related derivative transactions.

Rising interest rates are punitive for longer-dated bonds. Combine that with fixed income investors' fears about yield curve inversion, and it's not surprising that many market participants are gravitating to short-duration fare.

The deficit spending that supported the economy in 2020 is showing up in hot inflation numbers in 2021. While I think the inflation numbers will get better in 2022, I do not believe they will get back to pre-pandemic levels because of owners' equivalent rents and wage gains in the CPI.

Mind The Bond Market

Inflation expectation is a key metric the Fed watches closely. Housing costs - based on different measures of rents - account for one-third of CPI.

Inflation Expectations Come Unanchored
