Overview
Description
The iShares $ Treasury Bond 1-3yr UCITS ETF USD (Acc) B is an exchange-traded fund designed to provide exposure to short-term U.S. government debt securities. This ETF aims to replicate the performance of the ICE US Treasury 1-3 Year Index, which tracks US Dollar-denominated Treasury bonds issued by the United States government with remaining maturities between one and three years. As an accumulating fund, any income from the underlying bonds is automatically reinvested rather than paid out to holders, which can be advantageous for investors seeking compounded growth.
This fund is structured under the Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) framework, ensuring a regulated and transparent investment vehicle suitable for a wide range of investors. With a focus on high-credit-quality government bonds and a short maturity profile, the ETF appeals primarily to those looking to manage interest rate risk or seeking relative stability within the fixed income segment of their portfolios. It is notable for its low total expense ratio and substantial assets under management, reinforcing its role as a core holding for conservative investors or as a tactical allocation tool in diversified strategies. The fund plays a significant role in the broader financial market by offering liquidity and efficient access to the short-duration segment of the US Treasury market.
