Thanks for the overview, I find the ibonds ETFs an interesting addition. The volume of the ETFs is still very small (between 25M and <1M). The US bonds are not currency hedged (something is still missing!) and the EU bonds hardly yield more than a money market ETF. For the risks of corporate bonds, a little more yield must jump out.

@Epi as a private investor, you can get hold of corporate bonds in this way, where the denominations might otherwise be too high. All the bonds were only issued on August 10, so I am also curious to see how they develop.

@ausgeklammert I agree, the offer could be interesting for some investors. I am not yet as deep in the matter as you are. So here's the question: for me as a retail investor, what is the difference between a new ibond ETF with 4% distributing yield and a classic corp bond ETF with 4% distributing yield? Is the only difference that with the former the risk profile changes towards maturity, while with the latter it remains constant? If so, what is the benefit to me as an investor?

@Epi it is not possible to "sit out" until maturity, as is the case with individual bonds. with the iBond, one can theoretically not care about the key interest rate of the FED and co, as long as one holds until the end of the maturity.

@Epi i haven't quite figured this out yet. If I'm going to do the time anyway, why do I have currency risk? Doesn't it make sense then to take the $, collect more and then get the 100% back at the end?
