Our read on ILTB
ATake the whole U.S. bond market and keep only the long end. ILTB tracks a Bloomberg index of dollar bonds maturing in 10+ years, investment grade and high yield alike, for six basis points.
The fund seeks to track an index of U.S.-dollar-denominated investment-grade and high-yield bonds with remaining maturities above ten years.
Why people hold it
- Costs 0.06% a year, a fraction of the typical fund in its broad-bond peer group, where the median is 0.36%.
- One ticker for the long maturity slice of the U.S. bond market: Treasuries, corporates and high yield, all 10+ years, via the Bloomberg U.S. Universal 10+ Year Index.
- Pays monthly and has been running since 2009, through several full rate cycles.
- Broad holdings and low fees put it in the top quartile of its 187-fund bond cohort on our review.
Worth knowing
- Long bonds only means outsized sensitivity to interest rates. Expect much bigger price swings than an aggregate fund like BND or SPAB.
- The index reaches past investment grade into high yield, so credit risk rides along with the duration.
- Moderately traded rather than a volume giant. Limit orders are the sane default.
