Description: SHY 1-3 Year Treasury Bond

The iShares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF (SHY) is a passively managed exchange-traded fund issued by BlackRocks iShares brand that seeks to track an underlying index measuring the performance of U.S. Treasury public obligations with a remaining maturity between one and three years. To maintain index fidelity, the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the indexs component securities and at least 90% in U.S. Treasury securities selected by BlackRock Fund Advisors (BFA). As a short-duration government bond ETF listed on NASDAQ, SHY provides investors with low-cost exposure to the short end of the U.S. Treasury yield curve, where interest rate sensitivity and credit risk are lower than with longer-dated government bond funds.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Fed rate cuts lower short-term Treasury yields
  • Treasury supply surges as government deficit widens
  • Risk-off flows boost demand for short-duration Treasuries
