This niche focus allows for more precise portfolio construction but may come at the cost of lower liquidity and potentially higher expense ratios compared to more broadly diversified competitors. Advantages include more precise duration and credit exposure management. Disadvantages include lower AUM for individual funds and potentially higher expense ratios.

Historical Performance: Historical performance varies depending on the specific BondBloxx ETF (maturity and credit rating). Returns are driven by interest rate movements and credit spreads.

Benchmark Comparison: Comparison to benchmarks depends on the specific BondBloxx ETF. They are best compared to custom indices that match their maturity and credit quality focus.

Expense Ratio: Expense ratios vary for each BondBloxx ETF. Typical expense ratios range from 0.03% to 0.10%.
