JPST vs SGOV
JPMorgan Ultra-Short Income ETF against iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF: 4 years of returns, risk and today’s technical read, from Kavout’s own data.
JPST did better over the 1,000 trading days from October 28, 2022 to October 23, 2026: $1,000 grew to $1,209, versus $1,193 for SGOV, a 20.9% versus 19.3% total return. JPST also led over three years, 15.7% versus 13.9%, and beat SGOV in 32 of the last 48 months, although SGOV held a slight edge year to date and over one year. The difference reflects JPST’s broader ultra-short-income portfolio, while SGOV focuses on 0–3 month Treasuries. SGOV was the lower-cost and lower-volatility option, with a 0.09% expense ratio and 0.3% 12-month volatility, versus JPST’s 0.18% and 0.5%. Both experienced a worst drawdown of 0.3%, making the trade-off modestly higher historical return for JPST against greater volatility and cost.
