Summary

  • Investors can use a barbell strategy aiming to balance short-term income opportunities and lock in yields with potential returns if long-term rate declines in an uncertain bond market.
  • Shifting to a 60/40 blend of WisdomTree’s Floating Rate Treasury Fund and Yield Enhanced U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund may allow investors to use a time-tested, user-friendly solution.
