Market uncertainty and high short-term yields put money-market ETFs like MINT, NEAR and ICSH in the spotlight for income and stability seekers.

TORONTO, July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MINT Income Fund (TSX: MID.UN) (the “Fund”) is pleased to announce that distributions for the third quarter of 2025 will be payable to unitholders of MINT Income Fund as follows:

MINT offers capital preservation, liquidity, and low volatility through a diversified portfolio of short-duration, investment-grade bonds and securitized assets. Despite its size and liquidity, MINT has higher fees and lower historical returns compared to peers like TBUX and ICSH, making those more attractive. Ultra-short bond ETFs are ideal for parking unallocated funds, offering higher yields than money market funds, but they're sensitive to interest rate policy changes.

Last week, the iShares Flexible Income Active ETF (BINC) reached a significant milestone and became the latest member of the $10 billion of the active fixed income club. The exclusive club now has six members, fewer than half the number of active equity ETF members.

The 10-Year Treasury yield signals that the market does not expect a recession in the near term. Current yield levels suggest inflation expectations remain elevated compared to recent years. Investors should interpret the bond market as pricing in persistent inflation rather than imminent economic contraction.

PIMCO Enhanced Short Maturity Active Exchange-Traded Fund ETF offers a way to escape market volatility, providing higher yields than money market funds with modest added risk. MINT invests in short-term, investment-grade bonds and sophisticated credit instruments, mitigating interest rate risk while offering potential for capital appreciation. The fund's volatility stems from widening credit spreads and interest rate movements, but its short duration helps manage these risks effectively.

VettaFi sat down with Jerome Schneider, PIMCO's Head of Short-Term Strategies, at Exchange. Schneider discussed the potential benefits of active management and PIMCO's priorities in the space.

Despite the ETF industry's passive roots, active has stolen the show. Active ETF assets just topped the $1 trillion threshold, making up nearly 10% of the total ETF pie.

Matthew Bartolini, State Street Head of SPDR Americas Research, joins CNBC's Bob Pisani to discuss the record-breaking milestone for active ETFs and how the market volatility is driving interest in the funds.
