PURSUE YOUR GOALS WITH iSHARES BOND ETFs

iShares bond ETFs are designed with your goals in mind. Select from the options below to see which ETFs could be the best fit:

With over 80% of the bond market yielding +4% today, investors have a compelling opportunity.4 While holding individual bonds to maturity can secure these yields, fixed maturity ETFs like iBonds offer a more efficient solution.

iBonds ETFs invest in a basket of bonds that all mature in the same year, providing the predictability of individual bonds with the simplicity and diversification of an ETF.

Holding cash in low-yielding deposit accounts can erode real returns over time, as inflation gradually diminishes purchasing power. iShares cash and short duration ETFs offer a more efficient way to manage liquidity while seeking improved yield.

These funds typically invest in low risk, highly liquid assets such as Treasury bills, short term government bonds, and corporate bonds with short maturities.

They offer a way to potentially earn higher yields while maintaining capital preservation. Investors can buy and sell these ETFs on the stock market, providing quick access to funds, unlike some fixed deposits or longer-term bonds.

Accessing a broad basket of core bonds can be complex and costly - iShares core building blocks ETFs can help.

02.

LIQUIDITY

iShares core bond ETFs offer liquidity even during stressed markets, as ETF shares trade on exchanges while the underlying bonds may not.
03.

TRANSPARENT ACCESS

Unlike mutual funds or bonds, ETFs trade all day like stocks, allowing real-time pricing and swift reactions to market changes.

COST EFFICIENCY

Today's broader bond universe may offer opportunities to reduce risk and increase yield by moving beyond core bonds (such as investment grade credit or government debt). Investors may benefit from a more balanced allocation between core bonds and 'plus' sectors, including high-yield credit, securitised assets and emerging market debt.

iShares’ active and index income solutions enable investors to adapt to fast-emerging trends and tap into niche sources of income.
