Our read on IGSB
ACorporate credit with the rate risk dialed down: roughly 4,700 investment-grade bonds, none maturing past five years, for four basis points. iShares has run it since 2007.
The fund seeks to track an index containing U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade corporate bonds with remaining maturities from one through five years.
Why people hold it
- Four basis points a year, a fraction of the typical investment-grade corporate bond fund's fee and level with the cheapest tier of its peer group.
- One-to-five-year maturities mean prices move less when rates move than long-dated corporate funds. Same corporate credit, shorter leash.ishares.com
- Thousands of individual bonds tracking the ICE BofA 1-5 Year US Corporate Index, with income paid monthly.ishares.com
- Trading since 2007, actively traded, and one of the strongest builds in the investment-grade corporate group on cost, portfolio and execution.
Worth knowing
- Short maturities cut both ways: less price damage when rates rise, less lift when they fall.
- These are company bonds, not Treasuries. Investment grade, but credit spreads can widen and prices move with them.
- Only the front of the curve. Sibling IGIB runs 5-10 years and USIG spans broad maturities, both at the same fee.
