PIMCO Active Bond ETF (BOND) is an exchange-traded fund designed to provide income and total return through an actively managed fixed-income portfolio. The ETF is managed by PIMCO (Pacific Investment Management Company LLC) and trades under the ticker BOND on NYSE Arca.
Classified as an actively managed fixed-income ETF, BOND seeks to generate risk-adjusted returns, before fees and expenses, through dynamic allocation across multiple segments of the fixed-income market.
The fund does not passively replicate a traditional benchmark index. Its strategy relies on discretionary decisions involving duration management, sector allocation, credit quality assessment, yield curve positioning, and selection of global fixed-income securities.
Composition / Exposure profile
BOND provides exposure to multiple segments of the global fixed-income market, including:
• U.S. Treasury securities
• Investment-grade corporate bonds
• High-yield debt
• Mortgage-backed securities (MBS)
• International sovereign and corporate debt
• Other global credit instruments
This structure seeks diversification across issuers, durations, and risk profiles within the fixed-income universe.
Structure and costs
BOND shares trade on the secondary market on NYSE Arca during regular trading hours. Creation and redemption occur through authorized participants, helping maintain alignment between market price and net asset value.
The fund charges a management fee as outlined in its prospectus and does not apply a performance fee. BOND trades exclusively under the ticker BOND.
