Lower quality bonds beat higher quality for the quarter and trailing year, with 'BBB' rated securities beating 'AAA' by 0.24% and 0.74%, respectively. Boosted by 'A' and 'BBB' rated securities, s were the best performing sector, gaining 0.47% for the quarter. (MBS, CMBS, ABS) bonds returned 0.38% and Agencies and Treasuries returned a more modest 0.23% and 0.22%, respectively. 3Q17 4Q17 1Q18 2Q18 1-Year 1-3 Year Return By Sector (%) 0.24 (0.25) (0.13) (0.19) (0.02) (0.02) (0.38) (MBS,CMBS, ABS) 0.44 (0.06) (0.29) Year Return By Quality (%) AAA 0.27 (0.26) (0.15) AA 0.42 (0.14) (0.20) A 0.56 (0.05) (0.40) BBB (0.33) GREEN indicates the best performing sector for the period and RED indicates the worst.
