- Bluemonte Short Term Bond ETF (NYSE Arca: BLST) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks total return and current income through investments consisting primarily of short-duration investment-grade fixed income securities and exchange-traded funds, with approximately 80% of its portfolio allocated to assets with maturities under four years to minimize interest rate risk. The fund's principal holdings include Vanguard Short-Term Bond ETF (BSV, ~55%), iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG, ~25%), and Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF (VCSH, ~20%), supplemented by minor positions in closed-end funds; it features a net expense ratio of 0.23%, monthly distributions, and total assets under management of approximately $129 million as of late 2025. BLST targets investors seeking high-quality, low-volatility bond exposure in the U.S. short-term bond category, with geographic focus on U.S. bonds (88.74%) and limited non-U.S. bonds (10.26%). Launched on June 20, 2025, BLST formed part of Bluemonte Investment Management's inaugural suite of nine actively managed ETFs introduced via a landmark 351 exchange transaction involving over 1,000 client separately managed accounts (SMAs) from RFG Advisory, in partnership with Exchange Traded Concepts as sponsor and RFG providing model portfolio strategies. This conversion marked a strategic expansion for Bluemonte into the ETF market, enabling tax-efficient access to institutional-caliber fixed income strategies previously available only through SMAs; the broader Bluemonte lineup encompasses complementary equity and bond products such as Bluemonte Core Bond ETF (BDBT), Bluemonte Long Term Bond ETF (BLTD), and Bluemonte Diversified Income ETF (BLUI), all designed to integrate seamlessly for diversified portfolio construction. Managed by a team including Andrew Serowik, Gabriel Tan, Todd Alberico, Brian Cooper, and Rick Wedell of RFG Advisory, the fund operates from a U.S. domicile with shares listed on NYSE Arca.
