Short-term Treasuries remain attractive; SPDR Portfolio Short Term Treasury ETF (SPTS) offers stability and income, with a focus on 1-3 year maturities. SPTS has a low expense ratio of 0.03%, making it one of the cheapest options for accessing short-term Treasuries. The fund's 30-day SEC yield of 3.98% outperforms most savings accounts and money market funds, offering a tempting income opportunity.
Treasuries have rallied in recent weeks, though fundamentals don't quite justify the move. Importantly, the yield curve remains inverted, which means investors get paid more while risking less at the front end. While the 1-3-year segment is the best of the coupons, it's hard to look past the risk/reward in the bills.
SPTS invests in short-term U.S. treasuries with an average maturity year of 1.93 years. While downside risk is limited, SPTS offers little capital appreciation as it has lower rate sensitivity than longer duration treasury funds.
