  • Upside potential in rate-decreasing periods: The Fed turns to timing of rate cuts, and bond prices are expected to benefit from it. The higher a bond’s maturity/duration, the more its value will increase as interest rates fall.
  • Customize your exposure to interest rate risk: target the duration you are looking for with iShares U.S. Treasury bond ETFs.
  • Seek to target different segments of the yield curve: offers exposure to Treasury bonds that mature within specific maturity years or ranges, allowing you to target points on the yield curve.
