(IBDR) iBonds Dec 2026 Term - Overview

The iShares iBonds Dec 2026 Term Corporate ETF (IBDR) is a target-maturity exchange-traded fund designed to track the Bloomberg 2026 Term Corporate Index. The fund allocates at least 80% of its assets to index components and 90% to investment-grade fixed income securities. These holdings consist of U.S. dollar-denominated corporate debt with a minimum outstanding face value of $300 million per issuer.

The target-maturity structure differs from traditional bond funds by intending to liquidate and distribute net acquisition value to shareholders upon reaching its specified maturity date in December 2026. This model provides investors with a predictable maturity profile similar to an individual bond while offering the diversification of a broad corporate portfolio. Investment-grade corporate issuers are typically rated BBB- or higher by major credit agencies, indicating a lower risk of default compared to high-yield or junk bonds.
