iShares iBond Dec 2026 Term Corporate ETF

The iShares iBond Dec 2026 Term Corporate ETF is an exchange-traded fund designed to provide investors access to a diversified portfolio of investment-grade corporate bonds. Its primary function is to track the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays December 2026 Maturity Corporate Index. This ETF is structured as a "target date" fund, meaning it primarily includes bonds that mature at or around December 2026, offering a clear time horizon for investors seeking predictable outcomes from fixed income investments. Notable for including bonds from a range of industries such as financials, industrials, and utilities, this ETF caters to investors interested in managing interest rate risk and aligning bond investments with specific financial goals, such as planning for a future expenditure. As part of the larger suite of iShares iBond ETFs, it plays a significant role in providing a laddered investment approach. It helps investors manage duration risk while drawing accrued interest from corporate bonds that are generally considered less volatile compared to equities and more diverse than individual bond holdings.
