Did you know?
Duration — measured in years — tells you how much a bond's price will move for each 1% change in interest rates. A bond with a duration of two years will fall roughly 2% in price if rates rise by 1%. Short duration corporate bond funds deliberately keep this sensitivity low, offering investors access to corporate credit spreads — the extra yield companies pay over government bonds — while minimising exposure to rate movements. This makes them particularly useful in environments where credit fundamentals are stable but the direction of interest rates is uncertain.
