Description: IUSB Core Total USD Bond Market

The iShares Core Total USD Bond Market ETF (IUSB) is an intermediate core-plus bond fund that tracks an index of U.S. dollar-denominated taxable bonds, including both investment-grade and high-yield issues. Under its investment policy, at least 80% of the funds assets are allocated to the component securities of the underlying index or to-be-announced (TBA) transactions with substantially identical economic characteristics. TBAs are forward-settling trades commonly used in the U.S. mortgage-backed securities market, allowing the fund to gain exposure to agency MBS before specific pools are identified.

Launched in June 2014, IUSB is structured as a passively managed ETF and is classified within the intermediate core-plus bond category, which typically blends U.S. Treasuries, corporate debt, mortgage-backed securities, and a smaller allocation to higher-yielding sectors to enhance return potential beyond a pure core bond portfolio.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Fed rate cuts lift prices across the total bond market
  • High yield credit spreads widen on recession fears
  • Record ETF inflows boost AUM to new highs
