Davidson Launches Active Intermediate-Term Taxable Bond ETF (DFIT)

Davidson Investment Advisors has launched the Davidson Intermediate Taxable ETF (DFIT), an actively managed fixed-income fund targeting intermediate-term, investment-grade taxable bonds. The ETF primarily invests in securities with maturities of one to ten years, including U.S. Treasuries, corporate bonds, taxable municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities. DFIT can allocate up to 80% of its assets to corporate bonds, 20% each to mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, and up to 5% to below-investment-grade debt. The strategy combines fundamental credit research with quantitative assessments of yield, duration, and income to identify attractive risk-adjusted opportunities. Portfolio managers actively adjust duration, credit exposure, and yield curve positioning in response to changing interest rates and market conditions.
