iShares Canadian Real Return Bond Index ETF

The iShares Canadian Real Return Bond Index ETF is an exchange-traded fund designed to track the performance of the Canadian real return bond market. Its primary purpose is to provide investors with a diversified portfolio of inflation-protected government bonds issued by the Government of Canada. These bonds adjust for inflation, ensuring that their real value is maintained over time, which can be particularly appealing during periods of rising inflation. The ETF seeks to deliver long-term returns that generally keep pace with inflation by mirroring the performance of an underlying index focused on real return bonds. It plays a significant role in fixed-income portfolios for those seeking stability and protection against the erosive effects of inflation. With its focus on Canadian bonds, it also offers exposure to the Canadian fixed-income market, appealing to investors looking to diversify currency risk or strengthen their exposure to Canadian fiscal policies and economic conditions.
