TBIL: The Fed Has Cut, What Is Next (Rating Downgrade)
The US Treasury 3 Month Bill ETF (TBIL) offers automated exposure to short-term T-Bills, closely tracking the front end of the yield curve. Following the Fed's recent 25 bps rate cut, TBIL's yield will decrease, mirroring future Fed Funds rate movements almost one-for-one. TBIL remains a reliable cash parking vehicle, but investors seeking protection from further rate cuts should consider longer-duration funds like SHY or NEAR.
TBIL: It May Be Time To Rotate Into Longer Dated Bonds
TBIL offers ultrashort US Treasury exposure, closely tied to Fed rate policy, making it sensitive to upcoming interest rate decisions. Current economic data is mixed, with strong GDP but rising inflation and weak job growth, complicating the Fed's rate outlook. Given high odds of a September 2025 rate cut, I suggest gradually rotating from ultrashort to intermediate- and long-term Treasuries for better returns.
TBIL: T-Bills And Chill?
TBIL ETF offers a safe, flexible investment with modest returns, crucial during market turmoil caused by Trump's tariff plans. Treasury bill yields are tied to Fed rates, which may drop if tariffs lead to a recession, reducing TBIL's future returns. However, in a potential recession scenario, investors should prioritize capital preservation with cash-like investments like TBIL ETF over risky assets like stocks.

TBIL: Still Worth Holding Even Though The Rate Cutting Cycle Has Begun
Warren Buffett highlighted in the company's AGM that he sees accumulating cash and cash equivalents as a more favorable option than investing in additional stocks. Warren Buffett prefers building cash reserves over investing in stocks due to market conditions. TBIL has extremely low volatility risk and duration risk, it is a great cash diversifier for any portfolio to mitigate downside risk.
TBIL: Short Term Fund Outperforming Peers
The US Treasury 3 Month Bill ETF is a fixed income exchange-traded fund. TBIL fund composition includes only AAA rated T-Bills with 30-day SEC yield of 5.11%. TBIL has slightly edged out similar funds (SGOV, BIL) since the Federal Reserve raised interest rates.
