ETF description

The iShares $ Treasury Bond 7 – 10 Year ETF offers investors exposure to U.S. Treasury bonds with maturities ranging from 7 to 10 years. By tracking the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury 7 – 10 Years index, this ETF focuses on high‑quality government securities that are positioned in the intermediate‑term segment of the yield curve.

This ETF is suitable for investors seeking stable, predictable income with moderate interest rate risk, coupled with the safety and liquidity of U.S. government securities.
