XFIV Profile
The BondBloxx Bloomberg Five Year Target Duration US Treasury ETF is engineered to provide investors with targeted exposure to U.S. Treasury securities with an average duration of approximately five years. This fund seeks to balance the interest rate sensitivity and potential return by focusing on Treasury bonds that align with its specified duration target. The strategy is designed to help investors manage interest rate risk while seeking stable returns from government-backed securities.
Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, including any borrowings used for investment purposes, in a portfolio of U.S. Treasury securities. These securities are selected to ensure that the overall duration of the portfolio remains close to five years. Duration, a measure of interest rate sensitivity, reflects how much the price of the bond portfolio is expected to change in response to changes in interest rates. By targeting a specific duration, the fund aims to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on its performance.
The fund operates with a non-diversified approach, which means it may concentrate its holdings in a relatively small number of U.S. Treasury securities. This can lead to a more precise duration targeting but also means the fund may be less diversified across different securities. Investors should be aware that while this strategy can provide targeted interest rate exposure, it also exposes the fund to risks associated with holding a concentrated set of Treasury securities.
Investing in Treasury securities with a specific duration target allows the fund to manage interest rate risk more effectively, particularly in a rising or falling interest rate environment. The BondBloxx Bloomberg Five Year Target Duration US Treasury ETF is suited for investors looking to achieve a targeted duration exposure to U.S. Treasuries, with an emphasis on maintaining a balance between risk and return in response to interest rate changes.
