For the most part, financial advisors will tell their clients that it's better to stay invested than to let cash sit idle. One way to consider staying invested is through short-term bond funds — and Fidelity has a trio of ETFs that are worth considering just for this purpose.
Investors shifting their focus to long-duration bonds may be overlooking a compelling opportunity in ultra-short and short-duration bonds. In the current economic environment, many investors are naturally drawn to the allure of long-duration bonds.
Many investors are still sitting on the sidelines in cash, potentially missing out on the short duration fixed income segment. Importantly, investors sitting in cash via money market funds have earned a compelling rate without taking on much risk.

The company specializes in fixed-income investments with a focus on preserving capital and maintaining liquidity by investing predominantly in investment-grade debt securities. These securities encompass a range of medium and high-quality debt instruments, reflecting a conservative investment approach aimed at risk-averse investors seeking steady income with lower risk of capital loss. The company adheres to a clear investment strategy, committing at least 80% of its assets to these safer debt securities. In addition, the organization engages in repurchase agreements secured by these investment-grade securities. A distinctive feature of its investment approach is the maintenance of a short investment horizon, typically aiming for a duration of 1 year or less, which further exemplifies its emphasis on capital preservation and liquidity.
These are medium to high-quality bonds issued by governments, municipalities, and corporations. The emphasis on investment-grade securities signifies the company's focus on reliability and stability, providing investors with a conservative investment option that seeks to minimize risk while offering steady income. These securities are suitable for investors who are looking to safeguard their capital while earning returns that are generally more favorable than those offered by standard savings accounts or certificates of deposit (CDs).
Repurchase agreements (repos) are short-term borrowing arrangements that involve the sale of securities with an agreement to repurchase them at a higher price at a future date. This aspect of the company's strategy leverages the liquidity and security of investment-grade debt instruments to offer additional income opportunities. Repurchase agreements typically appeal to investors seeking short-term investments that provide higher liquidity with a controlled level of risk. By engaging in repurchase agreements secured by high-quality securities, the company aims to enhance its income potential while maintaining a strong focus on capital preservation and liquidity.
