iShares Global Inflation‑Linked Government Bond

ETF description

This ETF invests in inflation‑linked government bonds issued by countries around the world. Inflation‑linked bonds are designed to help protect investors from inflation, as their interest payments and principal value adjust in response to changes in inflation rates. By holding a diversified portfolio of these bonds, the fund provides exposure to a variety of global government bonds that aim to maintain purchasing power during periods of rising inflation.

This ETF may appeal to investors who are concerned about the impact of inflation on their investments and want to preserve the value of their money in real terms. It could suit those seeking a conservative approach to fixed‑income investing, with a focus on stability and income that adjusts with inflation.
