Diversified Target Yield Bond ETFs

The strategy of the model aims to provide a consistent 5-6% annual income by investing in a diversified portfolio of income generating ETFs and closed end funds across a wide range of fixed income asset classes. The model will target an average single A pool of bonds, including government bonds, corporate bonds, and other fixed income securities.
The investment approach uses macroeconomic and historical analysis, and uses fundamental, valuation and technical framework (FVT) for asset allocation to pick individual bond ETFs and closed- end funds.
Research methodology encompasses historical valuation, rich/cheap analysis, relative value analysis & scenario (monte-carlo) analysis.
Target ranges will be established for each bond asset class. Overweight/underweight decisions will be made on the basis of FVT framework as described earlier.
If the weighted average yield of the portfolio falls below 5%, suitable weightage changes to the bond ETF allocation and closed-end fund allocation will be initiated. As appropriate, bond ETFs and closed end funds will be added in the portfolio.
None.
