Analyst Report

The FlexShares Core Select Bond Fund (BNDC) is an actively-managed fund-of-funds designed to give investors broad exposure to investment-grade debt securities, including U.S. Treasuries, corporate bonds and mortgage backed securities. BNDC gets its exposure largely by buying other ETFs, including some of FlexShares other fixed income funds, though a large slice of BNDC is invested in iShares ETFs, including the iShares MBS ETF (MBB), the iShares Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF (IGSB), the iShares Long-Term Bond ETF (IGLB), and several iShares Treasury ETFs.


BNDC isn’t outrageously priced for an actively-managed bond fund, but for the cost-conscious there are cheaper competitors out there, such as the JPMorgan U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (JAGG) and the Franklin Liberty U.S. Core Bond ETF (FLCB).
