Our read on IBMR
AA muni ladder rung in one ticker: it holds investment-grade municipal bonds maturing in 2029, tracks an AMT-free index, and pays monthly. Bond-style term structure, ETF plumbing.
The fund seeks to track an index of investment-grade municipal bonds that mature in 2029.
Why people hold it
- Charges 0.10% a year, right at the median for target-maturity bond funds, and the iBonds lineup is built so maturity years stack into a ladder.
- Spreads across more than a thousand investment-grade munis, so one issuer's trouble barely moves the fund.
- Follows an AMT-free index, screening out bonds whose income can trip the alternative minimum tax.
- Pays monthly, matching how muni income is usually spent, and holds a well-built portfolio for its category.
Worth knowing
- Munis are the tax-advantaged lane. For the same 2029 rung in taxable bonds, iShares also runs IBDU (corporate) and IBTJ (Treasury).
- The index is callable-adjusted: plenty of munis can be redeemed early by their issuers, so the mix heading into the term date can shift.
- It is a fund, not a single bond. Shares trade at market prices and move with rates along the way, and the end payout is whatever the bonds deliver.
