KCSH ETF

Investors looking to put cash to work in short-duration bonds, hedge for duration risk, or diversify their income portfolios would do well to consider the recently launched KraneShares Sustainable Ultra Short Duration Index ETF (KCSH). The fund offers low correlations to fixed income portfolios and a 30-day SEC yield of 4.42% as of December 13, 2024.

Earnings season continues as investors absorb new outlooks in the wake of the first Fed interest rate cut. Meanwhile, the impending U.S. presidential election looms large, creating elevated potential for short-term volatility in the final quarter of the year.

Rising and elevated rates led to an abundance of cash parked in money markets in the last two years. Now, as rates decline, advisors and investors must consider how to reallocate their cash.

In the rush to move out on the yield curve ahead of potential rate cuts next month, investors shouldn't overlook opportunities in ultra-short duration. Funds like the recently launched KraneShares Sustainable Ultra Short Duration Index ETF (KCSH) offer diversification as well as duration and currency risk mitigation that may benefit an overall bond portfolio.
