“We founded BondBloxx to provide modern tools for modern markets,” said BondBloxx co-founder Tony Kelly in a news release. “And our targeted products make it possible for investors to finally execute sophisticated investment views through ETFs – which are a time-honored tool to access liquidity and efficient exposure especially in today’s volatile markets."
BondBloxx co-founder and portfolio manager Elya Schwartzman added: “As rising rates and volatility continue to impact the corporate bond market, the need for new tools to manage fixed income exposure is becoming even more critical.”
Launched in October of 2021 to provide precision ETF exposures for fixed income investors, BondBloxx was co-founded by Kelly and Schwartzman along with ETF industry leaders Leland Clemons, Joanna Gallegos, Mark Miller, and Brian O’Donnell. The team has collectively built and launched over 350 ETFs at firms including BlackRock, JPMorgan, State Street, Northern Trust, and HSBC.
“Our conversations with investors have reinforced what we already knew – there is significant demand for more targeted fixed income products,” said Kelly. “Our initial product suites aim to create a full toolkit for high yield investors looking to implement their specific views on the market, and we anticipate extending this approach to other fixed income asset classes.”
