The iShares iBonds Dec 2032 Term Treasury ETF (IBTM) tracks a market-value-weighted index of U.S. Treasury securities, net of holdings by the Federal Reserve’s SOMA. The fund commits at least 80% of its assets to the index’s component securities and at least 90% to Treasuries that BFA expects will keep the ETF’s performance closely aligned with the index, except during its final liquidation phase.
As of the latest reporting, IBTM carries an expense ratio of 0.15%, holds roughly $2.1 billion in assets under management, and has an effective duration of about 8.5 years, positioning it to benefit from the current steepening of the Treasury yield curve. Recent Federal Reserve policy signals-maintaining the policy rate near 5.25%–5.50%-are supporting higher yields on medium-term Treasuries, which can enhance the fund’s total return potential.
