As bond yields rise and interest rates climb, certain stock sectors are positioned to benefit. The article recommends three ETFs for rising rate environments: Vanguard Financials ETF (banks benefit from higher net interest margins), Vanguard Energy ETF (essential products maintain demand), and ProShares Equities for Rising Rates ETF (diversified large-cap stocks correlated with Treasury yields). Historical 2022 data shows all three outperformed the S&P 500 during the last rising-rate period.
