Two months in, PIMCO's Total Return ETF outperforms competition

Since its launch two months ago, PIMCO's Total Return ETF has returned 3.7%, more than five times the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond index during that time. Its performance against the four largest fixed-income ETFs (by assets) has also been strong, with it's closest competitor - the iShares Barclays TIPS Bond Fund - posting a 1.2% return over the two-month period.
