Full fund details

Objective: Seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S. dollar-denominated bonds rated investment-grade or high yield.
Strategy: Tracks the Bloomberg U.S. Universal 1-5 Year Index, which measures U.S. dollar-denominated taxable bonds rated investment-grade or high yield with maturities of 1-5 years. The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the index's component securities and TBA transactions, using a representative sampling strategy to manage the Fund. It does not seek to outperform the index and aims for lower costs and better after-tax performance through low portfolio turnover.
Inception date: October 18, 2012
Fund family: iShares
