Single-Bond/Treasury ETFs

[yogibearbull]

If you have gotten used to single-stock ETFs, get ready for single-bond/Treasury ETFs. I suppose they make rolls easy although many brokerages (Fido, Schwab, etc) have auto-rolls for Treasuries. There may be other minor trading advantages for small ERs. Keep in mind that major brokerages already have commission-free trading for Treasuries.

Of course, Treasury auto-rolls at brokerages are at maturity into like Treasuries.

However, these single-Treasury ETFs roll into on-the-run Treasuries (i.e. most recently issued like Treasury) as soon as possible/practical. So, they are closest commercially to constant-maturiry Treasuries for which charts/data are published by the Treasury (FRED).

MA is investigating single-stock ETFs. Says that such investments are not suitable for retail investors (despite their approval by the SEC).

Target dated funds or Is it Vanguard that are also dangerous to retail investors?

"Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth William F. Galvin, the state’s top securities regulator, announced that his office’s securities division has secured a $6.25 million settlement from Vanguard Marketing Corp. after an investigation into potential tax disclosure and marketing issues with target date funds."

@haven , that VG TDF issue on the tax hit from poorly thought/executed merger of 2 VG TDF series has been covered in other threads. But yes, the MA regulator is very vigorous in its job that is regulation  .
