Trends with Benefits Quickie #1: To T-Bill or Not to T-Bill

Introducing Trends with Benefits Quickies: Your favorite podcast in a shorter segment.

I am joined by VanEck’s Fran Rodilosso, Head of Fixed Income ETF Portfolio Management, and Bill Sokol, VP, Director of Product Management. We discuss whether investors should sit out market volatility in T-bills and if the convenience of using money market funds to earn a higher yield is worth the fees. Additionally, we explore how investment opportunities change depending on a Fed pause or pivot and why investors should diversify their fixed income lineup.
