Description & usage
The iShares 1–3 Year Treasury Bond ETF provides exposure to short-maturity U.S. government bonds. It primarily holds U.S. Treasuries with remaining maturities of about one to three years and is typically U.S. dollar based. The fund is intended for investors seeking exposure to short-term U.S. interest rates with high issuer credit quality. Because of its shorter duration, price movements are generally less pronounced than in Treasury ETFs with longer maturities.
