Description: ISTB Core 1-5 Year USD Bond January 10, 2026
The iShares Core 1-5 Year USD Bond ETF (ISTB) commits to holding at least 80 % of its assets in the index’s component securities or TBA (to-be-announced) transactions that mirror those securities’ economic characteristics, and at least 90 % in fixed-income instruments that the index defines.
As of the most recent data (Q4 2025), ISTB carries an expense ratio of 0.05 % and a weighted-average maturity of roughly 2.8 years, giving it a modest duration exposure that makes the fund sensitive primarily to short-term Fed policy moves. The fund’s average credit quality is A-rated, reflecting a concentration in U.S. Treasury and agency securities, while its yield-to-maturity hovers near 4.3 %-a level that tracks the 2-year Treasury rate plus a small spread for credit and liquidity.
