iShares USD Treasury Bond 3 – 7yr

ETF description

This ETF provides exposure to U.S. government bonds with maturities between three and seven years. These bonds are issued by the U.S. Treasury, which is widely considered one of the most reliable issuers due to the backing of the U.S. government. By focusing on this range of maturities, the ETF balances the potential for stable returns with moderate sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

The bonds included in this ETF offer regular interest payments, which are reinvested within the fund, and are denominated in U.S. dollars. This makes the ETF particularly relevant for investors who either hold U.S. dollars or want exposure to the currency as part of their portfolio.
