The US Federal Reserve has, for the first time, began purchasing exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as a way to direct money rapidly into credit markets. The move is an historic milestone for the Fed, and acted as an important signal to bond investors.
Meanwhile, the ongoing market volatility caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in record trading volumes, set against a backdrop of reduced liquidity in all asset classes. ETFs have so far, and once again, proven their resilience and acted as instant market access tools, as well as providing price discovery and liquidity for investors during stressed markets.
