How interest rates affect it
Bond prices and interest rates generally move in opposite directions. When market interest rates rise, existing bond prices generally fall, and when rates fall, existing bond prices generally rise. Longer-duration bonds are typically more sensitive to interest-rate changes.
This fund's interest-rate sensitivity is moderate, and its credit risk is low. Those are two separate risks: a fund can carry a lot of one and almost none of the other.
What can go wrong
- Interest-rate risk: moderate.
- Credit risk: low but not zero — corporate bonds are part of the index.
- Broad bond funds can lose money over a year; they are steadier than shares, not safe.
Bond ETFs can fall in value and have done so. They are usually steadier than shares, which is not the same as safe.
