About the WDE bond portfolio
Principal Securitized Debt ETF holds a portfolio of bonds. They yield 6.35% to maturity, have an average coupon of 4.06% and an average maturity of 5.2 years. With an effective duration of 4.12 years, a one-percentage-point rise in interest rates would lower the fund's price by about 4.1%, and a fall of the same size would raise it by about as much.
Because the bonds trade at an average of 89.26 per 100 of face value, part of the expected return comes from prices drifting back to par as they mature, adding roughly 1.80% a year. The current yield is 4.55%. Over the next 12 months, rates could rise by about 1.54 percentage points before the price drop would cancel out a year of yield.
