iShares U.S. Treasury 20+ Year Bond ETF

The iShares U.S. Treasury 20+ Year Bond ETF is an exchange-traded fund designed to provide investors with exposure to the performance of U.S. Treasury bonds that have a remaining maturity of 20 years or more. This ETF tracks the ICE U.S. Treasury 20+ Year Index, offering a broad representation of longer duration government debt. Its primary function is to offer investors a means to gain access to the long-term government bond market, potentially benefiting from stable income generation and relative safety that treasuries typically provide. The fund holds a diversified portfolio of government-backed securities, making it a reliable option for those seeking lower risk assets. Such bond funds are significant as they serve as a hedge against market volatility, often proving popular during times of economic uncertainty. By focusing on long-term treasuries, the fund can be an integral part of a well-diversified portfolio, balancing more risk-prone investments with U.S. government-backed securities' comparative stability.
