SGOV Stock Recent News

Reaffirming my strong buy rating on SGOV, emphasizing its value during recent market volatility. We are likely to see more volatility moving forward. The Fed is in "wait and see" mode, and is now likely to hold rates steady through the Summer. This is a blessing for SGOV investors. A downgrade on US credit from Moody's is making its rounds through the news, but I believe it's mostly noise.

A rise in yields is likely to benefit a few corners of the market. Investors seeking to capitalize on the opportune moment should consider these ETFs.

Despite my usual inclination to invest in dividend-paying stocks, current market valuations and economic risks lead me to prefer raising cash over investing. The 10-year Treasury yield reflects a tug-of-war between inflation and economic weakness, influenced by tariffs and trade uncertainties. The recent U.S.-U.K. trade deal is a positive development, but it doesn't fully offset the higher tariffs still in place post-"Liberation Day."

Some advisors are taking a tactical approach to investing. Many others are strategic and making 3-4 allocation changes a year.

Investors bet on defensive investments in short-term or ultra-short-term bond ETFs amid heightened uncertainty.

It's been another strong year for ETF demand. ETFs gathered approximately $350 billion of new money year-to-date through April 16.

SGOV offers a safe, low-risk alternative to cash with a yield of 4.19%. The ETF holds U.S. Treasury Bills with maturities under three months, ensuring stable prices and minimal risk of capital loss. Other maturities offer better yields, and the spread could widen further as the Fed cuts.

I am holding 20% of my portfolio in cash due to expected market volatility and potential economic downturns, particularly with the upcoming Q1 GDP reading. My cash is allocated between iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF and Janus Henderson AAA CLO ETF, each with distinct advantages and risks. SGOV offers liquidity and stability during high volatility, while JAAA provides higher yields but can experience temporary liquidity issues during market turbulence.
