TLH Profile
The iShares 10-20 Year Treasury Bond ETF aims to provide investors with exposure to U.S. Treasury securities with maturities between 10 and 20 years. The fund's strategy involves investing at least 80% of its assets in the securities that comprise its underlying index, which is designed to reflect the performance of public obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury within this maturity range.

The underlying index measures the performance of U.S. Treasury bonds that have remaining maturities of at least ten years but not exceeding twenty years.

The fund's investment approach involves maintaining a portfolio that closely tracks the performance of this index, aiming to provide returns that mirror those of the targeted segment of the Treasury market.

By concentrating its investments in these government securities, the fund provides a focused exposure to the U.S. Treasury market while minimizing credit risk through its exclusive investment in Treasury securities.
