The International Monetary Fund (IMF) reported that institutional investors are increasing volatility in the corporate bond
market by aggressively trading exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The heightened volatility is particularly stark during times of market stress, often impacting corporate borrowers and debt investors. The IMF analysis, one of the first to examine the impact of the growing institutionalization of the U.S. ETF industry, highlights that institutional ownership of U.S.-listed corporate bond ETFs has surged from 44% in 2012 to 70% in 2025.
