EXPLORE iSHARES BOND ETFs

Holding cash in low-yielding deposit accounts can erode real returns over time, as inflation gradually diminishes purchasing power. iShares Money Market 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 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. Core bonds generally refer to the foundation of a fixed income portfolio. They are high-quality, investment-grade rated bonds that provide stability, diversification, and income. The term usually covers: Government bonds (like European sovereign bonds) and Investment-grade rated corporate bonds.

Please refer to the prospectus for information on costs and fees.

Risk: Diversification and asset allocation may not fully protect you from market risk.

Today's broader bond universe may offer opportunities to manage 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.

Emerging markets are generally more sensitive to economic and political conditions than developed markets. Other factors include greater 'Liquidity Risk', restrictions on investment or transfer of assets, failed/delayed delivery of securities or payments to the Fund and sustainability-related risks.

Asset backed securities and mortgage-backed securities are subject to the same risks described for fixed income securities. These instruments may be subject to 'Liquidity Risk', have high levels of borrowing and may not fully reflect the value of underlying assets.
