IBTF Profile
The iShares iBonds Dec 2025 Term Treasury ETF is tailored for investors seeking exposure to U.S. Treasury securities with a specific maturity timeline. The fund is committed to investing at least 80% of its assets in securities that are constituents of its underlying index. In addition, it allocates a minimum of 90% of its assets to U.S. Treasury securities deemed by BlackRock Fund Advisors (BFA) to best track the performance of the index.
The underlying index of this ETF includes U.S. Treasury securities that are publicly issued and scheduled to mature between January 1, 2025, and December 15, 2025. By focusing exclusively on securities within this defined maturity range, the fund aims to provide investors with a predictable and targeted investment horizon. This approach ensures that the fund's holdings are precisely aligned with the specific maturity dates outlined in the index, which helps to minimize interest rate risk associated with longer-term securities.
The ETF’s investment strategy is designed to closely follow the performance of its underlying index by maintaining a portfolio composed predominantly of Treasury securities that match the maturity criteria. This targeted investment strategy is ideal for those seeking short-term fixed-income investments with minimal exposure to fluctuations in interest rates beyond the fund's maturity range. The fund’s concentrated focus on U.S. Treasuries provides a clear and straightforward investment path for investors with specific time horizons.
As a non-diversified fund, the iShares iBonds Dec 2025 Term Treasury ETF is focused solely on U.S. Treasury securities maturing within its designated period. This lack of diversification emphasizes the fund’s commitment to tracking the performance of its index with precision, offering a transparent and reliable investment solution for those seeking to align their investment timelines with short-term U.S. government debt securities.
