With a fund size of over SGD $1 billion, the ABF SG Bond ETF is the go-to instrument to gain access to one of the world’s highest-yielding AAA-rated government bonds. As the first-ever exchange traded fund (ETF) bond fund in Singapore, it invests in the constituents of the iBoxx ABF Singapore Bond Index. This means that tracks a basket of high-quality bonds issued primarily by the Singapore government and quasi-Singapore government entities (e.g. Temasek, SP Group, Land Transport Authority and Housing Development Board). Bond ETFs typically offer investors haven status amidst the market volatility such as the Covid-induced crash. Although I used to hold ABF Singapore Bond Index ETF, I no longer do so no. Singapore Savings Bonds have been offering 10-year returns of about 3% or more for the past six months, and it has taken up a huge chunk of my funds. You Might Enjoy This :
