- ·Beta: ~0.10 to 0.15 vs S&P 500
- ·Standard Deviation: Significantly lower than equity benchmarks
- ·Yield: Correlates positively with short-term risk-free rates
Risks

- ·Opportunity cost during aggressive bull markets
- ·High expense ratio eating into narrow arbitrage spreads
- ·Sensitivity to Federal Reserve rate path
