Overview
Description
iShares $ Treasury Bond 1-3yr UCITS ETF USD (Acc) B is an exchange-traded fund structured under Irish UCITS regulations and managed by BlackRock Asset Management Ireland. Its primary goal is to reflect the performance of the ICE U.S. Treasury 1-3 Year Bond Index, which comprises U.S. Treasury securities with maturities ranging from one to three years. This ETF is designed for investors seeking direct exposure to short-term U.S. government debt, favoring high credit quality and lower interest rate sensitivity compared to longer duration bonds. Its accumulating structure means that income generated from bond holdings is automatically reinvested, rather than paid out to investors, allowing for potential compounding within the fund. The ETF employs a physical replication strategy, primarily investing directly in the underlying U.S. Treasury securities. By providing access to a diversified basket of short-dated U.S. government bonds, the fund serves as a tool for liquidity management, defensive portfolio positioning, or as a core component in fixed income allocations, particularly in environments where capital preservation and stability are prioritized.
