iShares Agency Bond ETF Price & Performance (AGZ)

Cboe Europe has announced the admission of four new Xtrackers II ETFs to its regulated market. These include ETFs focused on Australian, Japanese, and Eurozone government bonds, all trading in USD. This move provides investors with additional opportunities to diversify their portfolios with international bond-focused ETFs.1

Assets in money market funds have surpassed $7 trillion as investors seek safer alternatives amid market volatility. These funds offer attractive short-term interest rates and are popular with both institutional and retail investors. Government and municipal money market funds provide added benefits like tax exemptions for high-income earners.2

Vanguard and iShares continue to dominate the Canadian all-in-one ETF market. Vanguard’s offerings feature a consistent 0.24% MER across its products, while iShares provides slightly lower MERs but less international bond exposure. Investors are choosing between these options based on cost and portfolio diversification preferences.3
