PULS: A Better Place For Defensive Cash

PGIM Ultra Short Bond ETF earns a Buy rating with a 4.30% SEC yield, 0.3-year duration, and a competitive 0.15% expense ratio. The fund offers roughly 70 bp more yield than SGOV, compensating investors for taking investment-grade corporate and structured-credit exposure. PULS generates most of its expected return from carry rather than duration, reducing dependence on the timing of Fed rate cuts.
