XMEX Summary
SPSB: An Attractive Short-Term Bond Play
SPDR Portfolio Short Term Corporate Bond ETF offers exposure to short-maturity investment-grade corporate bonds with a highly competitive 0.04% expense ratio. Its low fee structure is especially attractive in the short-term bond space, where performance differences are often driven by fees and duration positioning. Given my macroeconomic outlook, I view SPSB as an attractive option for investors seeking short-term bond exposure with minimal fees.
SPSB: Not An Attractive Entry Point Anymore (Rating Downgrade)
SPSB's corporate spreads are historically low, making it less attractive for new investments despite its strong past performance and low volatility. The ETF offers a 30-day SEC yield of 4.7% and an option-adjusted spread of 46 bps, which are not appealing. Higher yields can be obtained from AAA CLO funds like PAAA, which offer over 6% with similar or better volatility profiles.
SPSB: A Good Money Market Alternative
The SPDR Portfolio Short Term Corporate Bond ETF is a low-risk investment option for investors seeking exposure to short-term corporate bonds. SPSB has a diverse portfolio with no position making up more than 0.57% of the fund, making it highly diversified. The fund has a strong performance history and a low expense ratio, making it an attractive option for investors looking for steady returns.

Overview
The company operates as an investment fund focusing on the U.S. short-term corporate bond market.

This strategic approach is managed by an Adviser who selects securities based on their alignment with the economic characteristics of the index, which is a gauge for the short-term corporate bond market performance.
