Overview
Description
iShares USD Treasury Bond 20+ Yr USD A is an exchange-traded fund structured to provide investors with exposure to long-term U.S. Treasury bonds. This fund primarily invests in government-issued, U.S. dollar-denominated Treasury securities with maturities exceeding 20 years. Its strategy focuses on investment-grade bonds, ensuring holdings are rated BBB- or above by major credit rating agencies, which underscores a high standard of credit quality and low default risk. As an accumulating ETF, it reinvests any income generated back into the fund rather than distributing dividends, which can enhance compounding potential over time. The fund aims to mirror the performance of the ICE U.S. Treasury 20+ Year Bond Index using a sampling methodology, providing diversified access to one of the most liquid and secure segments of the global fixed income market. Managed by BlackRock, and domiciled in Ireland, it serves as a tool for investors seeking a stable, long-duration core holding, commonly used to hedge market volatility or diversify broader portfolios. The fund’s structure, with a low expense ratio, underscores its focus on cost-effective, long-term capital preservation and growth within the government bond sector.
