Description: ICSH iShares Ultra Short-Term November 05, 2025

The iShares Ultra Short-Term Bond ETF (ICSH) invests at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. dollar-denominated, investment-grade fixed- and floating-rate securities rated BBB- or higher (S&P/Fitch) or Baa3+ (Moody’s), or in unrated issues deemed equivalent by the manager.

Key metrics (as of the latest filing):  • Expense ratio: 0.06% • Weighted-average maturity: ~0.7 years • 30-day SEC yield: ~4.6%, reflecting the current high-interest-rate environment.

Primary economic drivers for performance are short-term Treasury rates (which set the floor for yields), Fed policy on the federal funds rate, and credit-spread dynamics in the investment-grade corporate bond market.

Because the fund’s duration is ultra-short, it is relatively insulated from interest-rate volatility, but its yield can be pressured if the Fed cuts rates sharply or if credit spreads tighten.
