iShares Ultra‑Short Bonds

ETF description

This ETF invests in a range of very short‑term bonds issued by governments, corporations, and financial institutions. It focuses on minimizing risk by holding bonds that mature in a short period, generally less than one year. The goal of this ETF is to provide a stable source of income while maintaining low volatility. Due to its focus on short‑term bonds, this fund is less sensitive to interest rate changes, making it a relatively conservative option.

It may appeal to investors who want to preserve capital, earn modest returns, and maintain liquidity for quick access to their funds.
