Description

Are bonds boring? That’s their reputation—and it’s a big part of why investors embrace them.

But Steve Laipply, global co-head of iShares fixed-income ETFs at BlackRock, thinks there’s also a lot more excitement to bonds than we give them credit for.

In this episode, Steve talks with Ben and Julie about:

  • ETFs’ role in transforming investor access to bonds
  • The value of bond ETFs in providing liquidity, transparency, and price discovery
  • How fixed-income ETFs fared during the covid-19 market turmoil
  • Recent innovations in the fixed-income space
