iShares $ Treasury Bond 1-3yr UCITS ETF

iShares $ Treasury Bond 1-3yr UCITS ETF is an exchange-traded fund specializing in short-duration U.S. Treasury bonds. Its main objective is to replicate the performance of the ICE U.S. Treasury 1-3 Year Bond Index, which consists of U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate government bonds with maturities between one and three years. Managed by BlackRock Asset Management Ireland Limited, alongside international BlackRock partners, the fund exclusively invests in investment-grade securities, specifically those rated BBB- or above by S&P and Fitch and Baa3 or higher by Moody’s. This ETF provides investors with exposure to the U.S. government bond market, focusing on shorter maturities to help reduce interest rate risk compared to longer-dated bonds. It serves as a key instrument for portfolio diversification, capital preservation, and liquidity management, making it popular among institutional and individual investors seeking low-risk, stable income and a defensive allocation within fixed income strategies. The fund has a long-standing track record since its inception in 2006 and is domiciled in Ireland, reflecting its widespread adoption and reliability in global markets.
