Quadratic Launches the Quadratic Deflation ETF, BNDD

Aaron NeuwirthSep 21, 2021

On Tuesday, Quadratic Capital Management, an innovative asset management firm, announced the launch of the Quadratic Deflation ETF (NYSE Arca: BNDD).

Managed by Nancy Davis, Quadratic Capital Management’s founder and chief investment officer, BNDD seeks to profit from a variety of challenging environments, including lower growth, deflation, lower or negative long-term interest rates, and/or a reduction in the spread between shorter- and longer-term interest rates by investing in U.S. Treasuries and options.

In the U.S., government debt levels have soared recently amid multiple rounds of fiscal stimulus in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Other recent trends include an aging population, advancements in technology, tax increases, and increasing productivity.

“Some investors have expressed concerns that the U.S. will experience an environment similar to Japan given the debt increase and labor market. Quadratic Capital aims to help these investors achieve their goals using our expertise in the interest rate and options markets,” said Davis.

“It’s prudent for investors to have tools available to them so that they are prepared for a wide range of economic outcomes and environments,” said Davis, portfolio manager of the Quadratic Deflation ETF.

The BNDD portfolio is comprised of long-dated U.S. Treasury bonds, which are enhanced by a portfolio of options. Bonds tend to perform well during times of deflation due to low interest rates. When interest rates fall, bond prices typically rise. The options portion of the portfolio is expected to increase in value with the compression of the spread between shorter- and longer-term interest rates.

The options within the BNDD portfolio are traded on the over-the-counter (OTC) interest rate markets, which are typically unavailable to most investors. Quadratic Capital Management is at the forefront of providing access to this market for all investors.

BNDD may help investors during times when other parts of their investment portfolios struggle.
