iShares $ Treasury Bond 20+ Year

ETF description

This ETF invests in long‑term U.S. Treasury bonds, which are loans made to the U.S. government that pay interest over time. Specifically, it focuses on bonds with maturities of 20 years or more. By holding these bonds, investors can receive regular interest payments, making it an appealing option for those seeking stable income. Additionally, U.S. Treasury bonds are generally considered low‑risk investments because they are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

This ETF may attract conservative investors who prioritize capital preservation and are looking for a reliable way to diversify their portfolios. It can serve as a safe haven during times of market volatility or economic uncertainty, as U.S. Treasury bonds often perform well when other assets may struggle.
