GMO Ultra-Short Income ETF

The GMO Ultra-Short Income ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund specializing in low-duration, high-quality fixed income securities. Its primary function is to generate consistent current income while maintaining a strong emphasis on preserving capital, making it well-suited for investors seeking a conservative approach to cash management and liquidity solutions. The fund’s portfolio is diversified across instruments such as U.S. Treasuries, collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), repurchase agreements, and other investment-grade assets, focusing specifically on the safest and most liquid segments of the bond market. The ETF employs a dynamic allocation strategy, seeking to optimize risk-adjusted returns by adjusting exposure based on relative value, prevailing interest rates, and market conditions, all while keeping the overall portfolio duration to one year or less. Managed by GMO’s experienced fixed income team, this fund brings the firm’s rigorous, valuation-driven investment philosophy to the ultra-short income space, aiming for stability, flexibility, and efficient capital deployment. Its role in the financial markets centers on meeting the needs of investors who prioritize liquidity, capital preservation, and low volatility, such as institutions and intermediaries optimizing short-term holdings or managing operational cash flows.
