The July issue highlights some promising small ETFs that Morningstar doesn’t currently rate. Small funds are often more expensive to trade than their larger counterparts, so it’s especially important to use limit orders here. While these funds aren’t for everyone, they’re worth watching.        

Here you’ll find content about:     

• Three corporate bond ETFs that have a good chance to offer a better risk-reward tradeoff than the market
• An illustration of how adding high yield bonds to the Basic Portfolio can hurt diversification
• IQ S&P High Yield Low Volatility Bond ETF HYLV and Vanguard U.S. Multifactor ETF VFMF
• Three promising foreign-stock ETFs
• Three dividend strategies to watch

On a separate note, Morningstar’s universe of rated bond ETFs has expanded to include more actively-managed strategies. I’ve added these newly-rated funds to the bond watchlist, though most are rated Neutral.    

Best,

Alex
