ZROZ Anything But A Zero

By IndexUniverse,  July 25, 2012, 07:07:40 PM EDT

The performance of the Pimco 25+ Year Zero Coupon U.S. Treasury ETF (NYSEArca:ZROZ) is no stranger to the top-performing ETF list. It was, after all, the highest returning ETF in all of 2011.

Even more interesting is that ZROZ, a fund with $185 million, more than doubled the performance of the much more widely held $3.76 billion iShares long-term Treasury ETF, the iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond Fund (NYSEArca:TLT), which is up 37 percent over the past year.

The only other fund that comes close to ZROZ's performance over the past 12 months is the Vanguard Extended Duration ETF (NYSEArca:EDV), which has jumped by two-thirds in the past year.

So is the past prologue? What is the outlook for this red-hot fund and, by extension, Treasurys?
