PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- #advisortech--RISR, a business owner engagement platform for financial advisors, announced an expanded relationship with Osaic.

FolioBeyond Alternative Income and Interest Rate Hedge ETF stands out as a unique, actively managed negative duration fund benefiting from rising rates. RISR's duration profile has been conservatively reduced from -7.9 to -2.4 years, limiting downside if rates fall while maintaining upside if rates rise. The current macro backdrop—persistent inflation, geopolitical tensions, and market-implied rate hikes—strengthens the case for RISR as a portfolio hedge.

Treasury yields surge as U.S.-Iran tensions lift oil prices. These ETFs could help investors navigate a rising-rate environment.

5-Star Morningstar-Rated Interest Rate Hedge ETF Reaches Significant Institutional Milestone RISR has a 5-star Overall Morningstar rating and is ranked #6 among 191 funds in Morningstar's Nontraditional Bond Funds category over a 3-year period ending on 4/30/26. The rating and ranking are based on Morningstar's methodology of comparing risk-adjusted returns.

Federal Reserve hikes are increasingly likely, with inflation increasing and unemployment stable. Lots of investments and ETFs should outperform during a period of rising rates. I'll be giving a quick rundown of four such ETFs in this article. Funds vary in risk, from cash ETFs to riskier choices, with the possibility of outstanding gains.

There was a sharp rise in Treasury yields last week, with the 30-year Treasury yield climbing above 5.1% on May 15, 2026. Investor concerns intensified after a series of economic reports suggested inflationary pressures were picking up again, partly due to elevated oil prices linked to Middle East tensions.

The FolioBeyond Alternative Income and Interest Rate Hedge ETF delivers a 6% yield and offers protection against inflation via MBS IOs. RISR surged in rising rates, outperforming both bond and equity benchmarks since inception. The ETF is largely insensitive to non-rate economic factors, distinguishing it as an all-weather inflation hedge, but remains exposed to MBS market risk.

FolioBeyond Alternative Income and Interest Rate Hedge ETF offers unique negative duration exposure via AAA MBS IO strips, targeting rate-sensitive investors. RISR's price declines as rates fall, but its negative duration makes it an effective hedge for portfolios with positive duration fixed income holdings like IEI or IEF. Despite lower rates ahead, RISR remains a 'Hold' due to its hedging utility and high yield, not as a standalone investment in a falling rate environment.
