The iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF is designed to provide investors with exposure to short-term U.S. Treasury securities. To achieve its investment objective, the fund will allocate at least 80% of its assets to the securities included in its underlying index, focusing specifically on Treasury securities with very short-term maturities.
