Just for the sake of clarity here:
Duration = sensitivity to interest rates (there are several different measures of this)
Time to maturity = average life of bond
People use them interchangeably because in plain english "duration" is "time to maturity," but in bondspeak/finance, it is not. Duration is almost certainly the most important metric to be looking at, relative to the OP.

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a CDS ETF/ETN? Maybe tracks one of the MarkIt indexes? I googled and looked on Schwab and I didn't see anything, but I would guess someone has done this by now.
