Our read on IBTQ
BOne rung of a Treasury ladder in a single ticker. It tracks an index of U.S. Treasuries maturing in 2035 and wears that end date in its name, so there's a defined finish line instead of a perpetual bond fund that rolls forever.
The fund seeks to track an index of U.S. Treasury bonds that mature in 2035.
Why people hold it
- Costs 0.07% a year, below the typical target-maturity bond fund's 0.10%.
- Pure Treasury collateral. No corporate credit to underwrite, unlike the BulletShares and iBonds corporate rungs (BSCT, IBDU) that headline this category.ishares.com
- The mandate is unusually literal: one named index, ICE 2035 Maturity US Treasury, and Treasuries that mature in the year on the label. Little room for style drift.
- Pays monthly, and sits in the upper half of a crowded target-maturity field on our review.
Worth knowing
- A 2035 maturity means roughly a decade of interest-rate sensitivity. Prices can swing a lot more before that date than on the 2028 and 2029 rungs.
- Treasury yields only. The corporate versions of this ladder take credit risk in exchange for extra spread; this one doesn't.
- Launched in 2025, so the track record is thin, and it trades moderately rather than like the category's busiest names.
